Tomato and peppers from seed can be tricky for beginners. I have lots of tips if you are interested (based on experience and trial and error in the last decade). Overwatering can be a problem, something that I relearned this year. They need lots of light.

Before I had a grow light, I used to shuttle (up and down stairs) the seedling tray from an east facing window in the a.m. to the big kitchen windowsill on the other side of the house for late afternoon sun. There is no good south facing window.

Using seed starting mix/soil will improve your chances of success. I try to grow a bunch more seedlings than I think I need for the given space, to mitigate for carnage by birds, squirrels, slugs, etc. You can give extras away to friends or neighbours.
Like potting soil?
It's labelled as seed starting soil. It's sterilized and very light/fine in texture. I usually buy one bag. ex. https://balconygardenweb.com/seed-starting-mix-vs-potting-soil/
