hello fellow gardeners warm and sunny Easter forecast!!!! Let's hope weather man right for a change!!! Having trouble with my seedlings. I've kept them warm and well looked after. Everything has germinated except for my hot peppers and sweet peppers. It's been nearly 2 weeks now would you suggest planting new seeds or am I being impatient!!!! My hubby thinks the latter!!!! Advice very welcome as I'm new to this x

Looking at my records for the last couple of years the chillies took about 12 days to appear so probably best to be patient for a bit longer!
Chillies and peppers can take a couple of weeks. Sow some more as a back up.
I've trailed those peat pockets for the first time this year, sowed some chillies on 8th March and noticed today, one seedling is already coming up. No sign of anything in the usual seed compost though.
