    i think ive done it all wrong, i just sowed 2 types of peppers on a tray of soil, it has a propagator lid on (unheated) and its on the windowsill, but no signs of life yet.. its been well over a week and all the others i planted have started coming up...

    i dont have an airing cupboard...do i need to spend out on a heated propagator? will they ever come up?

    I sowed mine in an unheated propagator charliee, about 5 weeks ago, and I thought they were never going to germinate but they did and now they've got their first true leaves as well and seem to be doing fine. I was told on here to take the lid off as soon as they started to germinate. So be patient just a little while longer :)

    Good luck
