Richard is ready to enlarge our scope of inquiry:

>How about peppers? Does direct seeding work with peppers as well?

It does work, but most of us in temperate North America would not get ripe 
sweet peps to eat until late-ish September starting from seeds right in the 
garden.

Peppers take a bit longer than toms to get going after germination.  In 
years when I'm not off my game like this time out, I start my pepper seeds 
in the basement under lights around Valentine's Day.  The toms can easily 
wait until early March and still be tall and husky for outplanting by early 
May.
