Wow, seems early. I guess it depends on where you live. I'm in Philly. Where are you, billb?
Southeastern Ma - about the same weather/season as Long Island/Cape Cod. It's about a month early for peppers, but I can slow them down a little with cool nights in a unheated hobby greenhouse. Seems to work better than trying to start them late and push them with heating pads.
Leaf lettuce, arugula/rocket can take cool nights in the greenhouse growing in gutters sections. It's 66 degrees in there on a sunny day now when it is 20 outside so a couple more weeks and the odds of a pot freezing overnite are pretty slim.
Petunias can be slow to start, even Waves although they sprout quick.
