> Most of the seeds I planted germinated but so many didn't to my disappointment. Especially the Biker Billy Jalapeno... Miss Dewi, Sorry about your Biker Billy. I had 100% germination at 85F (29.4C) Most came up in 6 days. Wonder what was wrong with your seeds? Mine were from Burpee and were packaged for 2002. Re the dreaded peat pots: I love them and have used them successfully for many years. The mold is harmless, but if it bothers you try 1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide to 9 parts water. Just spray the pots and soil mix surface. Some people use chamomile tea instead of the peroxide. Can't vouch for the effectiveness of the tea.
