I have a problem, I planted green sweet peppers out of two packages, and it's been about 2-3 weeks and nothing is coming up? I bought a new package of seed today, but can't understand what happened to the first batch I planted. Any suggestions?

These take a while to come up--up to 6 weeks. Are you giving them some extra warmth? Keeping them on top of the fridge might help, they like warmth to germinate.

peppers like it hot so it may be a while.
One OS to rule them, one OS to find them: One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them in the Land of Redmond where the shadows lie.

Daisy if you don't have a warm place (80 degree F) you can use a heating pad on low. These work and you don't have to buy a heating mat. If not they will take longer. pepper seeds like it upper 70's to mid 80's to germinate fast. Jay

maybe try a heat lamp.I think my soil temps we're around 60 when mine sprouted,but not all have yet.My WS black pearl peppers are up but not the direct sowed ones yet.
I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!

I concur, It's been 4 weeks with mine and I still haven't seen a thing and it's in the high sixties here most days. Hopefully it won't be to much longer before I see them coming up.
