     as far as i know both peppers and eggplant   
   need warmth and even moisture.  eggplant can   
   sprout a lot faster than peppers.  70F - 90F   
   temperature range for sprouting.  so if you   
   are trying to sprout them in a place that   
   isn't uniformly moist or warm they may not do   
   as well.  that's about the extent of my   
   eggplant and pepper sprouting knowledge - i   
   normally get all my starts from our local   
   greenhouse because we do not keep it very   
   warm here and also we just don't have a good   
   spot to sprout many plants.

     :)  success!  :)   
      
     around here we have some small wild   
   raspberries that are black that will grow   
   in any sandy soil barren location if given   
   a chance.  blackberries i won't plant   
   because they are so hard to control and i   
   have enough projects already...
