I've had my pepper seeds in a covered tray on a heat mat, and it took about 6 days for several types to start germinating. However, two of my other types have not yet sprouted. I wonder if it depends at all on the variety of pepper? Like, maybe bell peppers take longer? I've heard peppers can take a while, like a couple weeks or possibly more. Last year I only got one pepper seed to germinate, so I am not an expert!
Most of the seed packets for peppers say 10-21 days - so keep the faith! I planted peppers on 2-26 and still nothing either, lots of tomatoes up that I planted the same day - peppers are just slower to grow. Hopin by the end of this week mine will start popping up. I planted 15 different varieties...planted at least 4 of each kind, should have PLENTY of peppers for the garden! =)
