I see that you're up there by the North Pole.

Yes, you can seed in a cold frame. The time to germinate will be a function of soil temperature. If it were me, I'd start them indoors just for temperature control. Check nearby threads for how to start pepper seeds indoors.

A better alternative at this late date would be to buy a plant at a garden center. They aren't expensive (at least they aren't down here).

Good luck,

Hey man you may be my neighbour, as everyone knows all Canadians know each other.

I would suggest not planting seeds now, in our 2b climate. I started annums in February that are just now ready for the garden. It sucks, trust me, I feel your pain, but best options for any sort of harvest would be buying plants for this year or starting your seeds in February/March 2015 for next year.

If you're thinking about growing c. Chinese (habaneros and the like), those need to be started in January. It IS possible, I got a great harvest of ghost peppers, scotch bonnets, and scorpions last year.

Crazy, right? Why do we live here?

Uh... the health care system?

planted the seeds today to see if they will sprout if nothing else. will go and buy some plants, thanks for help aki.
