Going to try and start some hot pepper seeds again this year. Last year
near the beginning I got lots of mold. I also did not soak. Took over 6
weeks before I goy any sprouts. Too cool downstairs. I'm going to try a
tray and use a cover this time watching wetness, upstairs where it warmer.
Any tips?

Start seeds in soil that has been heated (sterilized) to 180 F for at
least 30 min. This will greatly reduce damping off.
I used to do that with unknown soil. I figured bagged soil was ok, but that
reminds me of stories of living snakes in bagged soil!!

Glad to reunite you with urban myths, but if you want to free yourself
from damping down, 200F for 30 minutes.

E Pluribus Unum
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
