Not sure where you are, but with fall coming up in a couple months, those pepper plants won't like weather if it gets cold where you are located.
quote:I still have both jalapeno and bells making from my spring plantings, but those were store bought. I really haven't done anything from seed before, and I bought these too late for spring. I also bought a paste tomato variety pack that I will plant for next year. Hoping I learn from this to do better next spring.
All my pepper plants do very well during the heat of summer so I get them in the ground no later than April.

This is what I get in the ground from starter pots in the early spring, and by early spring I mean by mid-March after any threat of freezing weather is gone. I'm in N.O. by the way.
Tomatoes
Bell and several different hot peppers
Eggplant, both Ichiban and the regular purple variety
These are the seeds I sow directly in the ground at that time.
Cucumbers
Pole and bush beans
Soy Beans used for Edamame
Zucchini and Yellow Squash
Kale
Swiss Chard
And around mid to late April, I get in the okra seeds.
I've got five rows 50 ft. long and 2 trellises, both 6 ft. tall by about 20 ft. long and one raised bed 4 x 12 x 1 ft. deep.

When I moved to NW Florida from Louisiana (where you could plant a turd in the ground and it would sprout a plant), I had to learn how to grow stuff by experimentation. Here, if they say plant it in full sun, you will fry it. So partial sun is where it needs to go. Even okra gets angry in full sun.
Same with the climate. Planting spinach or lettuce in February means it will bolt quickly and you'll get nothing. Last year I planted spinach in late December, and grew the best spinach I have ever grown.
