I'm from up north and we have to start our peppers inside about 8 weeks before the last frost, as well as tomatoes and cabbage, otherwise we wouldn't get any fruit, summer would run out.

@mrsexpistols36 Hi there, if it was a pepper purchased from a grocery store, most likely the seeds are sterile. However, gardening is always a fun experiment & you should go for it. So yes, if you have a greenhouse get them in there asap! I live in Toronto, Canada so I started mine in doors a couple of months ago b/c it would be too cold for them. Best of luck!

@madpres I use a flame thrower. It kills most any insect that dare attack my peppers. The flame thrower is also effective on tobacco mosaic.

can I start germinating my cantaloupe and melons now? or is it to early still>?

@madpres Do what I did. Go to your local nursery and ask what they use. Most are semi-organic and their solutions are gentle on the plants and the soil. Something else to do is pair planting. For example, garlic drives away many bugs as do marigolds (great for tomatoes also). One last thing - herbs will also keep away many pests. Good Luck.
