How the heck long do they take to start growing?? I potted five up when I started my first batch of peppers and tomatoes and there they sit, looking the same as when I potted them. I have them on a light box for extra warmth and I was hoping it would kick start them.

They are oh so S-L-O-W . I almost always think they aren't coming when they finally poke their heads about the soil! How long exactly? I don' recall.

HaHaHa! Someone as impatient as I am! Mine are sitting there looking just the same, too! The first time I grew them I can remember digging down in the pot in search of roots... they were there.

Yeah, I checked mine this a.m. and I have a leaf coming up on one of the green ones, :) but nothing on the 3 Black Magics yet....
