Here in Zone 6 if I started my pepper transplants in January, I would have large transplants to babysit until plant out in mid to late May, I usually start peppers in mid to late March and that gives then plenty of time to grow to a good size. Super hots I would start in mid to late February, this year I'm not growing any of those, the hottest I'm growing are Habaneros.
The funny thing about peppers from year to year is germination time, some years everything comes up within a week or so, other years some come up and others take forever or not at all. This year Bell peppers took the longest to germinate. Other than the age of the seed, there's no rhyme or reason.
