It is pretty simple.

I have grown chillies and peppers in pots/bags for years.

If you want them to grow well, largish containers are the way to go. I use 25L grow bags (~7 US Gal) to grow them.

You can use the seeds from fruit or buy them if you are looking for speciality varieties.

Plant in seedling pots, seeds usually take between 1 and 3 weeks to sprout.

Replant when they have grown about 3 or 4 sets of leaves.

Yea, i made a stew type of thing and used the seeds from the bell peppers and regular peppers (not sure their name, they're thin, green, and long). Planted them in small seedling pots and waiting now ๐Ÿ˜
