I saw a youtube video where one lady used a crock pot for her seeds. I decided to give it a try. She said she had seeds germinate, including pepper seeds within two or three days. Some seeds germinated after just 24 hours. I did this on Monday. None of my seeds germinated, so I give up. I'll just plant them in the ground with compost. If they grow, then good, if not, then I just won't have those things and give away the rest of the seeds to someone that has better luck with seeds.
You'll have to look up the youtube video for all the details. Obviously, you can't just stick the seeds directly in the crock pot, because they will burn. None of my seeds burned, they just didn't germinate and I kept checking that they were warm. So maybe I just lost my green thumb for seeds. I never had a problem growing from seeds before I moved here. I guess the lesson learned is to just buy plants in the future, which means I will not be able to plant until late April or May because most places don't have any plants until then. And I won't be able to afford very many pants. However, all my Roma tomato seeds, watermelon seeds, and cantaloupe seeds, all germinated well, so I will continue with those.
