Yes it has been a difficult spring and especially for your first one. I am rejecting many more outdoor lettuce leaves than usual, slug damage mostly. Also I have had the same experience of slow germination being simply due to low temperatures. Last week I put my propagator thermostat on 30 instead of 20C as there has been so little sun by day to warm the greenhouse, although the weekend was good. Hang in there! and you may not need to fleece your tunnel tomatoes, being on a hillside where cold air at night should not gather.
