Question

What’s the best time to start sweet pepper plant seeds

Answer 1

The answer depends on where you live! Peppers like hot weather so there is nothing to gain by getting them outside right at your frost-free date. Peppers take a week or so to germinate and should be started indoors 8-10 weeks before your frost free date. Here is a map of frost free dates or you can search for yours using your zip code. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/file/day-last-spring-freeze-mapjpg
