It has been a dreadfully dreary overcast Winter. Seems 4 hours of sun a week since Thanksgiving. So it is not the light.
Like many things plant...learning curve. And many ways to get the same outcome.

Thanks for the advice, Oakley. I don't know if I am stubborn or persistent, but I am not ready to give up.
I didn't know peas like the dark. I will look at some of the videos that have been posted.
I've gotten pretty good at germinating lettuce. Talk about temperamental...needs light and has a fairly narrow temperature range which is not easy to achieve here in the summer without a serious AC bill.
I think the tomatoes I started from seed last year must have been beginner's luck. I had no trouble at all with trays of those. Had more tomato plants than I knew what to do with.
