Sam and list,

I've had similar germinating anomalies and wouldn't give up on these seeds just yet. Before the actual germination, the seeds appear very cold resistent. Even tomatoes and pepper seeds. Likely that the unplanned freeze retarded their emergence but you may yet see them in a few days. ONce they're up, no more cold spikes allowed =).

Folks,

I planted my seeds, oh maybe 2 weeks ago, in my
propagation house. About 3 days after that, my heater
malfunctioned and went out that night. The
temperature was below 25.

Do you think that could have affected the germination
of my seeds? Tomatoes and Peppers were planted. And
Marigolds, but they came up.>
