@mandolls, thank you for the encouragement. And yes, those were the types I would like to grow: Anaheim, Serrano, jalapeño, pasillo, etc... All those great chili peppers. I even tried tomatillo last summer and they grew big and bushy, but the paper husks were empty. Pollination issue? But, yes, I'll try some other varieties! Chances are I'll find some transplants while in town tomorrow, but future seed sprouting would be excellent!
I had my first successful "grow from seed indoors" this past winter with my eggplants and artichokes. I used a heating pad underneath and it actually worked and they didn't damp off like all the previous attempts, so that was a confidence boost! I'm telling you, Geof, I've found a deep respect for peeps who can grow from seed, cross pollinate, and all those other miracles that come with a master gardener's knowledge and know-how!
Thanks, again, Mandolls.... I'll give it another try, after all, the heat is only here once per year!
