I have had great success with starting peppers from seed and zero success with tomatoes! They do germinate but are never strong enough to, um, make it on their own, sob! Thanks Alex, henceforth I will not use the peat pellets. I am debating moving my little guys to earth pots before they get too attached to their surroundings.

I may try starting seeds again this year, I haven't tried that in quite a while. I have more room ... *G* and no ferret to terrorize the pots...
