thinking spring, or something!

Hello all,
I got a chance to go to an awesome seed swap this year, and got to try Zavory and Aji Flor peppers, they are both very tasty. Ive never had great luck starting peppers from seed, I dont know if its not fertilizing enough or enough light... I did grow 4 flats of tomatoes from seed this year!

Knowing that peppers are perennials, I just went ahead and planted both pepper seeds, and have little babies reaching their cotyledons up right now! great germination too, Ill have to thin (ie carefully transplant!)

Im reading the thread about overwintering mature plants, but has anyone planted in the fall and overwintered seedlings to get a jump on the spring? any suggestions?

Ill probably pot them up and take them over to my dads house (bigger sun room) in moderate size pots so I can be the one who remembers to water them every few days, ive got some organic powdered fertilizer and rabbit droppings so I may run a small experiment of what grows better....
