Dan the Pepper Man here.
You are correct, no chile plants at the market yet.
Our last frost date around here is ~3/1. With a 2 week buffer, St Patrick's day is usually very safe for putting plants outside worry free. You're probably fine now, but it's our average last frost date for a reason.
We will have lots of seedlings out at the Bryan Farmers Market in early to mid march. ~200 different chile varieties across 6 species (hopefully).
Chile Pequin, Chiltepin, Thai Birds Eye, Mayan Cobanero, Aji Ayuyo and other little small pods of torture on the menu.
