Until you need the prop for something else.

Patience.

There's a good table in http://tomclothier.hort.net/page11.html

Peppers take ages.....you should have put them in before your cukes

Give them another week at least!

gosh! Thanks for the table - Assuming it was an optimum temp for cucumbers (they germinated in about 3 days), then it suggests about 8 days for peppers. But if it's 9F colder, then that goes up to 13.

blimey!

I have no problems waiting, but I bought expensive seed (the nardellos), so if they weren't germinating I was going to Have Words with the seller.

Hang fire with the words and practice patience

If it's any help, my toms germinated in about 5 days. The jalapenos took about 8 days and the padron peppers took 12 days to germinate. This is in a heated propagator kept at 21*C.

I think my seeds must read this site. came home tonight to see little green loops in all three trays...

so that's 6 days in the heated propagator. fingers crossed I can get my tomatoes going next weekend

My Roma tomatoes all germinated on a windowsill, but not a one of the sungold. Can’t explain it. It’s annoying because Roma seeds as cheap as chips which can’t be said for sungold. Grrrrr
