So for me it said to start peppers at the end of March. For the first time (and the last time) I did start mine late last year (mid March) for various reasons, and it was my lowest production year.

Same with the eggplants, which I always start at the same time as the peppers. Last year 's later than usual start ended up with each plant producing just one eggplant before first frost.

That's why you need to use the one-size-fits-all on line guides as a reference point, then do some research and use trial error to see what works for you.
