Just another data point in the heat pad area...  my starter tray is long and
skinny in shape (I think it's 3 cells tall by 12 cells wide) and my heat
source was really only capable of warming up about the middle 1/2 of it.
The seeds that were directly in the center of this are at least a WEEK ahead
of the rest of the seeds... and the cells at the very end of the tray
haven't sprouted at all.  Next year I'm gonna make sure I have plenty of
heat!

So far I have pepperoncini's, red savs, francisicas, jalapeņos, and
pasilas... and just a few days ago one of the tepins poked it's head out of
the potting soil.  It ought to be a spicy summer!
