Peppers are usually a good bit slower to germinate and the hotter the pepper the slower they germinate. I have had peppers germinate almost 2 full months after planting so don't get too impatient. I don't apply heat to mine and have tomatoes and peppers popping up for many weeks after planting but rarely do any come up in less than two weeks if the weather is not warm.

My peppers came up a day or two after my tomatoes... I was pleasantly surprised! My eggplants on the other hand are taking much longer!

I didn't use heat (different climate though, it was already starting to get warm when I seeded up), but I did find that the majority of my peppers lagged behind *everything* else by a good margin, so don't lose hope on them yet!

I will be starting another batch of seeds this week and with the warm weather they will probably start coming up in a couple of days. The bad thing about starting tomatoes when the weather is hot is they tend to get leggy really fast and it is harder to keep them moist.
