I'm in zone 5a in Michigan, so maybe I'm a bit early. I want to get some peppers this year. I haven't figured them out yet as I'm not originally from Michigan. I may take some cuttings if my starts get too big. Last year I cloned a bunch of tomatoes and was surprised how easy it was.

I always find everything grows much faster than I think and then by may I am dealing with huge plants suffering in pots that need to go in the ground but its often still to cold and nighttime temps are risky... yeah tomato cuttings root easily. I prefer to start everything i can by seed tho.
