"Peppers are a popular choice for home gardeners to start from seed. Whether you’re a fan of sweet peppers or you love the heat of a good hot pepper, there are a few things you need to know about these popular nightshades. Get to know them a little better, and it will be that much easier to grow a peck of pickled peppers."  Comment from Rural Sprout

Peppers of all types are one of my favorite plants to grow from seed.  I don't know about the rest of the world, but in zone 9b Florida they are one of the easiest plants to grow from seed or plant.  One of the things I love are the peppers themselves that turn colors as they grow.  I like growing them with both marigolds and zinnias, the smaller varieties.  They look pretty together.  I've had good luck growing them in containers, which is what I prefer.

I have not had good luck with growing bell peppers.
