I think you're a little nuts! No way I would eat even an ancho chili pepper raw. Poblano maybe, but even then I would suffer some, and you would laugh at me.
The tent looks so inviting!

I've heard peppers are difficult to germinate, but for some reason, I have good luck germintating peppers, I just put them in soil and water them. They do take a very long time to come up though. Not until I begin to wonder if I shouldn't try again do they begin to poke their noses above ground. After that, at least this past year, my peppers were a complete disaster.
