[Market-farming] starting pepper plants

Speaking of peppers, anyone try the mild Jalapeno Dulce from Johnny's?  Is
it truly mild?  I'm sure environmental factors help determine the heat, but
I'm really wanting a true mild jalapeno.

I had a couple of plug flats that only germinated in the outside rows all
around the flats, with several varieties in each flat. Other flats came up
close to 100% at the same time. Looks to me like it had to be a case of
either more heat or less moisture in the outside 2-3 rows of cells, but I'm
still scratching my head a bit about the whole thing.

I second all the advice about bottom heat and patience, but all the time and
temps aside, I did have one flat last year that was a total failure - Red
Knight, a bell. Same soil, same day as all the others and not a single one
germinated.

This year it's the Mosco hot chili that's making me antsy and taking
forever.  3 out of 72 and I think  that's all that are coming.  The Fresno,
Anaheim and Jalapenos are all coming great guns!
