No, at least not in temperate climates. Pepper comes from a tropical vining
plant that takes consdierable time to reach maturity and is adversely harmed
by temperature fluctuations. You might be able to grow it in a greenhouse but
the sources I have do not mention if it is photosensitive or not. I am also
unaware of a source for pepper seeds that are viable.
