I started my bells inside mid March and planted outside in the ground after mother's day. They were really slow to take off, even in the ground, but in June they finally started growing. My biggest is now over 3 feet tall and I've got peppers. They really seemed to need days in the 80s-90s, and nights above 70 as often as possible. My watering and fertilizing schedule is different from most since I have clay soil. They have been doing better since I started mulching as well (I use a thin layer of grass clippings). You can see my rows of peppers in the middle. There's bells, mini bells, and snack peppers mixed in there.
