Go to your local retail greenhouse, although it really is over for the pepper season!.!.!.depending on where you live I guess!. Most of the time they will have peppers and other veggies already started instead of having to grow them from seed!. Much easier this way!. Most will be well rooted, check the root system b4 you buy, just turn it upside down out of the pot and make sure the system is substantial, white roots are always a plus!. Then take it home and transplant into a little bigger pot than what you bought it in!.!.!.most when you buy are in a 4" square flat pot!.!.make sure to give it lots of sunlight and fertilize twice a week!. Making sure not to keep the pepper too wet, will result in root rot and will kill plant, but you will most likely need to water daily!. To produce a fuller more fruitful plant you should "pinch" off new growth just down to the node!. This promotes more fruit believe it or not and a much healthier plant!. Do not grow mild peppers next to hot peppers, they will both turn out hot!. It's ok to grow these in pot, you don't have to have them planted in a garden!. I hope this had made some sense!.!.!.I was a grower for 7 years for a local greenhouse here where I live!.!.!.good luck!.!.!.
Edit: Well thanks for the thumbs down!.!.If you want to start from seed and make it a quick process the best way is to buy yourself a propagation mat!.!.!.you can usually buy a cheap one even at walmart as a starter kit!.!.this is a small mat that is heated!. Plant many seeds in propagation flats (very small pots)!.!.keep them wet and keep the mat on to keep them heated!.!.!.fertilize them every other day!. Potting soil should be rich, maybe with some compost, chicken compost is best!. Lots of per-lite for aeration!. You should sprout them in less than a week!.!.!.but be sure to plant many seeds, some grow, some don't!. Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you buy them from a store you will have a head start!. They usually will sell you plants about 4-5 inches tall!. While you can speed the growth of the plant by using plant food, watering and the sun being out, you really can't speed the production of the fruit!. At least as far as I know!.
I planted green bell, cayenne, jalapeno and habanero seedlings in late May and did not begin to harvest any peppers until the end of July!. The jalapenos and cayennes came first, then the habaneros (which took quite a while to ripen), and then a surplus of green bells!. Now the habaneros are ripening and a mind numbing pace!.
If you like spicy food here is a hint for what to do with your surplus!. Smoke a batch of peppers over mesquite wood, low heat so as not to cook them!. Dry them in an over or dehydrator and then grind them up in a blender for some of the best spice/seasoning you'll ever have!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
