Peppers and chilli seeds have a shorter life span than tomatoes, 2011 seed might be pushing it. Unless they are rare ones, I'd sow again with some fresher seed.
I find peppers and chillies need more heat to germinate than tomatoes, I put mine in at least 28 degrees and they come up in under a week. Might be worth increasing the heat if you can, if nothing shows in another week I'd try new seeds.
This year I sowed seeds from a shop bought green pepper and had 100% success and the seedlings are romping away. I put quite a few in as I thought they may not germinate so lots of healthy little plants.
I water from below, so this is odd. I do put a poly/ propagator cover over them at night and was late taking it off one morning that was very sunny........could that have done it?
I think you are right. We had to tke on of the cats to emergency vet, so two hours covered when wouldnt normally be covered/ have level of heat we had.....the odd bit is there were six varieties in there and only three affected.Is it too late to sow more chillis, do you think?IM wondering if strike runners from toms that I already have growing or resow the Irish Gardeners Delight.....am I a bit late?
