WOW,  I can see why it grows.  Even if I took 3 of each seed for next years grow it would be way too many.  But still... I WANT IN!!!  Where's the train schedule?

so far no sprouts from the few seeds I have tried for the train ): I can understand I have seeds that take longer to germinate butt not got forever to hope my method of germination has worked for 4 years now.....,, so I'm sure the seeds are at fault  
still trying other seeds from train.

That sucks that you're having trouble with the seeds.  How long have they been germinating?  and what varieties?
Maybe you just happened to pull a few unlucky seeds.  Hope some will work out for you soon.

I really don't think you can compare the germination of spinach to peppers.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume they meant what "pepper" varieties you were having germination issues with.

The more info you can provide about the pepper varieties you are having issues with the better we can address the problem. Can you let us know the exact pepper types and your detailed seed starting method? Did you pre-soak the seeds? What soil type do you use. Ambient temperature and humidity?

I spoke to you before and I have every intention of working with you to resolve this but I can't unless I'm given more info. I'll grow the varieties here and see if I get a similar result.

Really it's not a issue when I get bad seeds I trash them and start over I have a heat Matt and a mixed veggie container with jiffy seed start mix and yes I do presoak pepper seeds ,really getting time for my winter seeds so I have moved on to my seed stock from my fridge and start them in veggie container on my deck and have been for long time it works for me and I presoak only winter squash seeds. collards,endive,pumpkins and winter squash. In December I start my summer garden plants and I really can not chance seeds that have not shown any sign of life. I have given all the time I can on them seeds I have small area for my garden around 12-4 foot raised boxes. And my seed supply stays in the lower drawer in fridge

I hope the seed train has a place in the fridge or other seeds be drying out as we speak .......... Greenguru

What were the exact varieties you are having problems with? I've asked you at least 3 times and have yet to get an answer.

They had at least 45~55  days even after I added the other seeds i had they are not easy to grow.
I have my plant cycles, that one has to have more time then I have at present. some of my other seeds have done in past better the second year just getting them going to save seeds never happens easy thanks for your time, Greenguru

My high tech grow setup.

I started a second set of 5 seeds and treated them with an ultrasonic soak. (I heard of this trick from the italians)

So anyone placing bets?
1. No seeds viable
2. Ultrasonic seeds germinate first
3. Regular soaked seeds germinate first.
