This is the first time hearing of shishito peppers. Where do you purchase them? Or do you plant the seeds?

Home Depot and Lowes in my area had them this weekend in transplant sizes from Bonnie Plants. $4-10 depending on the size pot
Planting from seeds is way more economical but you’re going to be late for a spring garden if you start seeds now. Peppers from my experience grow very slow from seed

They do, but they also take off like mad when it gets real hot in the summer months. That is when the production of my hot and super-hot peppers take off.
Now, mild peppers like your regular bell peppers will often get sun scald and it puts nasty looking brown spots on the peppers so it's best to use some type shade cloth over those type plants so they are not getting direct sunlight from mid June forward.

Noted- thank you
I have a few bell peppers and marconi’s going right now - I have them in an area where I can add a shade sail to protect them

Cayenne peppers are my favorite. They start a little slow, but you get so much fruit and it can all be dried and stored.
