Had the same problem before. This year I bought all new seeds and had 100%
germination on everthing. Only problem is I didnt label them. My first
tomatoes are orange. I have all these different looking tomatoes. My peppers
are going well also I have five different kinds of Jalepnos alone. This has
been a lot of fun this year. My dad go into the planting with me and it has
been nice having something to talk about. We are already talking about next
year. I also have a bunch of different squash.
Most of the seeds were from Tomatogrowers.com.

Used peat pellets and planted pepper seeds on 4/5. Using my heating
pad I was able to get half of them sprouting after 10+ days. Now 24
days later they still don't have the true leaves yet.

Since I keep my house at 60F or less and don't have grow light system
set up, they grow very slowly. Guess I need to really put some money
into a germination system or else turn up the heat to get a good
seedling crop. So it's much wiser for me to just buy from the
nursery. Even if i buy the mail order bare root plants from southern
nurseries, I would still save money and have bigger transplants. That
is until high gas prices make shipping too expensive.
