I recently came across some Ajvar pepper seed in one of my seed catalogs and couldn't resist ordering a packet for the summer.  I had high hopes knowing how fantastic ajvar spread is, I could only imagine how good the actual peppers would be.  Let me tell you, I was not disappointed!  With such a short growing season in Chicago I got these seeds into the seed starter tray a little later than I'd like.  Looking back I'd probably like to get them started in mid to early February.  These little gems start slow and take some time to get going, this is definitely the first seed into the starter tray this year.  Also, invest in a heat mat for these guys, they love the warmth, like all peppers, and a good quality grow light.  I might need to do a few upgrades on my little system this year, I struggled to get all my tomatoes and peppers fired up due to heat and capacity.  I planted half Ajvar seeds and half King of the North in my seed starter.  ...
