They can really get things moving along.<BR/><BR/>Ottawa Gardener - I have never tried presprouting, I will have to next time. My last hot peppers germinated in 4 days in soil & on the heat mat.

Otherwise, I'll be waiting weeks to a month waiting for the darlings. I have gone the heating mat route too and still the presprouting wins out. Normally it only takes about a week to germinate peppers. <BR/><BR/>I presprouted eggplants starting this weekend and have my Applegreens showing roots!Ottawa Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486499450332482461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-14027504662397533352009-03-15T21:18:00.000-04:002009-03-15T21:18:00.000-04:00I think it's the heat mat.

It was the first time I struggled getting seeds to germinate. That's when I started noticing everybody in the blogosphere using heat mats all the time and I started to wonder...hhmmm...and then after 2 weeks, still no peppers. I think I'm buying a heat mat! In the mean time I'm using my wife's heating pad.<BR/><BR/>http://theconservativegardener.blogspot.com/Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388745136047280126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-89812723373562364252009-03-15T08:33:00.000-04:002009-03-15T08:33:00.000-04:00I am very interested in your Seed Savers varieties...I am very interested in your Seed Savers varieties.

I bought my heat mat from 'Lee Valley', there should be a store in your area. You can also find them at Walmart. <BR/> <BR/>Sinfonian - I have always used the clear lids, I have a short one and this tall one, they are really cheap.
