I've found this year peppers did not do well at all, the fruits have been very small and few have turned red. Chillies have faired a lot better, they've grown to the expected size and most are going red. I've brought a couple of plants indoors hoping the extra warm will bring them on to turn red before drying. Chillies though will turn red during the drying process.
Due to the long growing season both sweet and chilli peppers need, and our unpredicted weather, buying mature seedlings certainly has it's advantages. My purchased plants have been by far the better producer's of fruit.

Thanks Italophile. I didn't expect a response so quickly
