I have tried for years to germinate these heat-loving, cold-sensitive
plants in a variety of places. I have found that without either high
ambient air temps (and therefore, soil temps) or supplemental heat on the bottom
of the trays, my germination takes a long, LONG time. The seeds don't rot,
they don't do anything. They just sit there. On the other hand, when
I use soil heat of some kind (switching to honest to goodness germination mats
this year), they pop right up and never look back.
I suspect your soil is good in terms of moisture and fertility; it may
simply be too cold yet.
