I may try the baggie method for the second batch... I did a two-day soak in warm water over a heat mat, then sowed in coconut coir. It's now a week later, and I have 15 shish!tos and 5 habaneros up. I already have more than I need of those. My two paprika varieties are just appearing, as is a Turkish fish pepper, but there's no sign of Golden Nugget. In another week or two I'll start jalapenos, Urfa bibers, and poblanos. And maybe tabasco.
