gardenglory said:The 'tomatoes' on a vine at sams have had the seeds sprouting when you cut into them. I was wondering the same there.
Intheswamp said:These are some seeds I saved from the poblanos I cooked a few days ago. The peppers were green, not ripe/red. I'm going to let these dry another week or so and then see if any will germinate. They were a lighter color when first removed from the peppers and have slowly turned more golden brown...not sure if they're just curing/drying out or getting ready to rot. I've got my doubts, but figured "what the heck"...
Intheswamp said: I may just go ahead and plant peppers but hold off on the tomatoes I could put one of my plastic containers with pepper seeds in it here in the house somewhere (my wife will be thrilled! ).

It seems soooo early to me, how do you do it? I am in a significantly milder clime than yours (we don't use USDA zones but it is probably 9a) and I won't even think about starting peppers until mid to late March!
