When do bell peppers begin to grow?

18 years ago

Hi, I bought three peppers a week and a half ago (one Cuneo, one Corno di Toro, and one Scotch Bonnet). The day after planting in outdoor pots the weather turned cool and we haven't had a single summerlike day since. The peppers are stagnant - no signs of new leaves or stem growth at all.

How much heat do bell and hot peppers need to begin putting on vegetative growth, and when would I expect this to begin happening in an average year in the Willamette Valley?
