Hi Dewi,

At my side the 'quickies' show up after 6 days, and the slow ones more a
less after 14 day's.
I count day's from seeding to there heads are 1cm above the soil.
The soil I use is standard sterilized seeding ground  and take care that the
soil gets to approx 18-20 deg C with high humidity.
Works fine but even than some varieties only 10-20% show up, but without any
treatment of bleach, thee etc.
I keep record of that for the difficult ones I try a special treatment next
time.

Rocoto's are doing perfect 99% seedlings are up, the yellow ones (first time
I try these, thanks for the seeds Richard!) only 20% show until now.

Success
