I sowed 18 varieties of peppers (1-14-17) and got only 11 germinated. I waited 3 weeks and tossed the ones that didn't germinate. Here is what I got germinated :

pepperoncini
Jalapeno
Fresno
Alma Paprika
Chinese 5 color
Scotch bonnet
Shesheeto
Nemex Sunset
Black Pearl
Sweet Red (from store pepper)
Sweet Orange (from store pepper)

I will grow 2 to 3 of each variety except the ones that I got one seed germinated.
I am growing them mostly for fresh eating, grilling, salad, salsa, cooking AND as ornamental. Though they all are edible.
Compared to tomatoes, peppers grow 1/3 as fast. Thats ok. I have time til mid April..
