Gotta decide which ones to plant this weekend and which need to wait a
while. (I know it's still too early to start tomatoes.)

Probably start with the pepinos, eggplants, snapdragons (because they go
out early), and rocoto peppers. The rest of the peppers can wait until
late February, and the tomatoes and tomatillos some time in March.

This may be too early for the eggplants, I dunno... I've never had much
luck with eggplants up here.

Bob,

We're probably somewhat south of you here in Canada ;-).
But, the only thing we will be starting anytime soon will be onions,
and even those not until about the second week in February.
We can be reasonably safe in planning to set out tender stuff during
the last week of May, so it's way too early for us to be starting
tomatoes, peppers or eggplant.
We normally start eggplant and peppers in late March and tomatoes
around mid-April.
