Jalapeño
I had planted some jalapeño peppers about three weeks ago and no sign of any sprouts. Does that mean the seeds are no good? Are peppers harder to grow?
Are we suppose to test the germination prior to planting?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: Jalapeño
Pepper seeds are notoriously hard and very slow to get to sprout. They like it pretty warm, at least 70 degrees, to germinate. Maybe they just need more time.
You must be in a very warm climate or in the Southern Hemisphere. Too late for many places in North America to get peppers going from seed and expect a crop, unless they have some protection.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter, that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Re: Jalapeño
Pepper seeds take a long time to sprout. Using a heat pad helps speed up germination but they're still slow.
