The best results I've ever had was this year when I took some
unusually-hard-to-sprout pepper seeds to work, planted in a
Tupperware container and put them on the back of my computer monitor
during the days. I took them off at night and removed the lids and
let them cool off and breathe. I got almost 100% germination in
about a week and the seedlings are now strong and healthy. Last
year the same seeds took almost a month to get maybe 10% germination
and the seedlings were weak not a single one survived. The bottom
heat was the only difference.


Funny you should mention that. When I make no-knead bread I put it on
my computer monitor to rise -- works like a charm.


Dang, cain't do thet nohow on flat screen...

Mebbe heating pad on low setting?

For the seeds or the bread?

I've heard of people using that for seeds.
