probably another week or two for me... it doesn't get warm enough to be safe until june where I am, so waiting a little won't hurt... been mixing some dirt though... and there is one plant outside right now that was from a fallen seed from last year's grow that is doing its own thing. It's been going for over a month- it isn't growing very fast with the constant cold, but it isn't dead either, so I think of it as a success. (there were actually two that popped up, but one died) ... it would be nice to try conditioning a line over multiple generations to be hardy enough to grow in the early spring or even late winter... I don't know if that is possible, especially with the low light of winter, but it would be great to be able to extend the outdoor growing season.

H2o2 is thought to increase germination rates by breaking down the seed coat, thus allowing the seed to take in more oxygen.

Spot on buddy! Peroxide soften the shells on the seeds to make them germ on older seeds and provides them more oxygen

Also can scrape the sides with sandpaper or crack them open a tad with exacto knife (last ditch methods)

I've been using peroxide for several yrs now but for a different reason. I use a bit of it when I soak my seeds to kill any possible harmful fungus or bacteria that may be lurking on the seed itself.

I personally have not seen any difference between germination rates or times with using straight water or using the peroxide mixture.
Just my 2 cents
