Default So Exciting

Have just checked my raised bed. This is its first year. Its only 10 foot by 3 foot and its the only space | have to grow veg. But wonders of wonders, had a look and my spring onions, red onions, chard, and beetroot are just poking through and my Broad Beans are about 3-4 inches and look really healthy:
Have some spuds just poking through in compost bag so off to find some fleece. Parsley and salad leaves doing nicely in cold greenhouse so very excited. One question tho'. I sowed loads of tomato seeds around beg. of March. Have kept them on sunny window sill but only 2x Ildi and 2x Marmande have grown. They are doing very well but nothing at all from the others. Should I hang on and be patient, or do you think I was a bit early and should perhaps sow some more now? Bit sad, OH bought me some "black pineapple" seeds for Xmas. There were only 5 and I sowed them all but they haven't germinated Its only my 2nd year growing veg so lots of lessons to be learned I feel
