To add to this regarding the late start, what I would do in this situation is make sure to keep them in appropriately sized containers so that you can bring them indoors when it starts getting too cold. You can manually pollinate the peppers if necessary, and that should let you extend your growing season by a couple of months-ish. At least, that approach has worked well for my friends and me in the past.
