Happy Winter Solstice; 2012: 21 Dec 11:12 (UTC)

And no seeds sprouted; it's been 15 days, hmm...
Time to e-mail Nichols and find out what's going on. I'm going to plant more seeds, probably tomorrow.
This reminds me of when I first started: The germination rates were abysmal, but in the end it all worked.
Cheers.

Planted Six Jalapeno and 8 Caribbean Reds Today

The first 4 just refused to germinate. I used some old coir pucks that had been used before; so this could be a reason they didn't germinate.
Today, I used brand new ones which have been excellent in the past.
My window of opportunity is closing fast, as the optimum growing season here is from December through March 1st; after that it just gets too hot.
My wife has been doing a stellar job of making compost. This will make up the bulk of my potting soil when I'm ready to pot the seedlings. Cheers.
