Okay, not about peppers but tomatoes. I tried growing some big boys from
seeds this year for teh first time. I put them in a container did as the
packaged instructed. It's been 2 weeks, should I have seen something
sprout? I didn't really cover them with anything so is this a problem?

I've generally started growing my seeds indoors early for transplanting
outdoors when the weather gets nice enough. That works fine for everything
except peppers. For those, I get stubbornly empty trays time after time. I
just can't seem to figure out the proper combination of heat, moisture,

and
soil to get pepper seedlings. Anyone successfully done this? If so, do you
use potting soil or garden soil? Keep them inside or outside? Heating

cable
or pad? Keep the soil wet or damp or allow it to dry? Any pointers
appreciated.
