I've been having a long hard think.
OK seeds soaked, some seeds planted sat on a heat mat under a grow light. All well and good.
BUT I don't normally start seeds off until end of March beginning of April and there's no fancy kit used and I've always had a reasonable to good harvest.
What I'm trying to say here is that - does it really matter if the first set of seeds don't make it?
I'll just reboot, rewind and start again later when winter has buggered off.
This is supposed to be a hobby, hobbies are supposed to be interesting, relaxing and fun.
I'm refuse to stress over pepper seeds.
@Ratatouille take note
I'll just go and shout at them to hurry up!
