My rocotos were the first type to sprout this year, my saved seeds sprouting slightly faster than those I got from Tough-Love. I've started 24 pots of rocotos (9 orange, 9 red, and 6 yellow), out of 210 total. I don't use any heat, just room temperature (60-70F, we like it cold). I just ate a half-pint jar with supper. Tom
