I got a Johnny's catalog the other day, which recommends that you maintain 80-90F soil temp. until emergence, then 70F thereafter.

Are you using a heat mat? Covering lightly with plastic to keep moist? Or using winter sowing with minigreenhouses? I'm growing my tomatoes in a cold frame, and it took a couple weeks for the first one to sprout. They're doing well in closed clear plastic bins, though, where they stay warmer.
