Could be a couple of things. Your type of window? non insulated and/or leaking
windows will let a lot of cold in as well as heat out. The outside temp may
have been colder one year. At night cold air can drift over flats and cool soil
temp. The seeds quality greatly effects germination rate. The maturity of the
fruit when harvesting seed also will have an influence on germination.

One way to help insure a better germination rate of what you plant is to not
plant the "floaters" Soaking seeds for a few minutes in a chlorine bleach or
TSP solution kills virus. Dab the seeds to brake surface tension. Seeds that
float often will not germinate or have poor germination

============================
Do you know why one year they germinate in the window quickly and then
another year it takes forever? Is it the heat or lack of it coming
through the window? The temperature indoors? Usually pretty warm in the
kitchen - always cooking.
