Default Taking to long!

OK so on Jan. 21 I sow my pepper seeds, and on Jan. 29 I sow my lettuce seeds, on Feb.1 I sow my tomato seeds, and nothing has germinated, what should I do? Do you think they'll still germinate? Years before the lettuces germinated 4 days after sowing, the tomatoes took 7 or less days to germinate, and the peppers took about 2 weeks, but this yeaar the seem to be taking much more longer

I would wait a few more days and not panic yet.

If the lettuce seeds haven't germinated by now, I doubt they will. 3-4 days for lettuce to germinate, any longer than that then the seeds are probably too old.

All it has to be is a couple of degrees cooler for the seeds to take a few days longer to germinte. It's way too soon to panic yet.
