Patience, Ray! I had 12 out of 13 varieties I was
starting germinate in 4-6 days. The Southwest chilies
wouldn't budge under identical conditions so I went
and started some more. Well those germinated in 4 days
and then 3 days later the original ones FINALLY
sprouted also. Go figure!
I know some other varieties of seeds require light or
dark to geminate but I haven't heard this mentioned of
peppers, maybe someone knows if light matters.
I have two set ups- one an aquarium with a fluorescent
fixture, the other a heated bottom mini greenhouse.
I personally think I'm finding the ones under the
lights germinate faster tho you wouldn't think it
would matter. Just keep em warm and moist and maybe
start some more like I did if time is important to
you.
I had the best morning in the garden transplanting my
babies into pots. Peter, aji, rooster spur, Thai,
congo, squash, scotch bonnet, red and orange habs,
bird, yoyo,caro cayenne, yat, to name a few! Plus some
concho di toro, 4 kinds of basils, roma and sweet
mill tomatoes. Now the hassletime begins! Hardening
off, weather watching obsessively, shufflin in and out
of the sun, the winds, the cool nites!
btw, HAPPY DINGUS DAY everybody!!! Eat some chiles
with those pierogis!
