AH HAH!! Thank you Stephen. I didn't know they were pre-germinated, and that explains it fully. Last year's tomato were likely a little on the old side (considering that particular supplier who shall here remain nameless). The peppers we are trying to start now were saved from last year.
This is very valuable info for me and I am in your debt for sharing it. We are small growers and many of the commercial varieties we want to use have large minumum orders - more seed than we can possibly use in one year. In the future, I will be sure to not get pelleted seed. Actually, I never ordered it that way - they just sent it.
Thanks again,
Jack
