     I have been having a few problems with my plants.  My first
question 
     is about my seeds not germinating with this ziplock method.  This
is 
     what I did and maybe someone could determine if my method is wrong
or 
     if my seeds are crap.  I took a few habanero, ortega, and
ornamental 
     chile seeds, got a paper towel wet (not sopping wet), put the seeds
in 
     the towel, placed it in a ziplock and closed it about 3/4 of the
way 
     shut.  Put them near my heating pad so they are 85-90 deg.  Its
been 
     about 3 or 4 weeks and they are a little fatter but nothing is 
     sprouting.
     
     My next question is about my tomatillo's which I am growing 
     hydroponically.  They started blooming about 2 weeks ago but after
the 
     flower, the bud turns yellow and falls off (stem and all).  This
isn't 
     normal is it ?  My apple peppers are flowering and I don't want the

     same thing to happen to them.
