Hmmmm, my rocoto seeds sent me by a fellow list member (was that you, Cameron?) 
are the largest seedlings of all I started.  I started 72 seeds (12 varieties) 
in a flat of 1 inch square containers and 18 are now prospering seedlings about 
3 inches high.

Lesson #1 learned: 1 inch pots are only good for germination, lost too many to 
dried out pots.  Much too hard to keep needed moister level (not soaked, not 
dry).

Lesson #2 learned: Propogation mat was best investment I've made.
Note to self: move to 4 inch pot 1 week after sprouting.  Killing innocent 
pepper plants is severly harming self karma and may piss of El Grande.
