What is your planned plant out date? Start your tomatoes 6-8 weeks before that and your peppers 8-10 weeks before that.

WOW!! That is way early for the Chicago area. It will be months before you can plant them outside. Zone 5 plant out time isn't until the end of May. Middle of May maybe with protection. But transplants that old will be heavily stressed.

Thanks for the info everyone, I would like to put them out in March April before it starts getting into the 100's in May/June/July. I started some seeds this past Saturday so lets see how it goes!

yeah admittedly i probably jumped the gun myself here in virginia...i started tomatoes and peppers on seed warmer in garage yesterday...
this is my first time starting from seed, so i wanted to get an early start in case i mess it up i still have some time to try again. that and i just got real anxious
