Depending on where you are there is still plenty of time. Even if you have supers you have 1-2 months minimum of heavy fruiting.

I’ve found that the more comfortable I become at starting seeds, the later I can start them and still have a fruitful season. The real things that slow you down are unexpected issues like pests or terrible heat/wind early in the season.
I’ve been sowing seeds in 5b staggered since around the middle of March to now. I guarantee you that if you sow now you’ll be excited in two weeks! I’m going to experiment putting some identical hots in separate size containers; seeing if I grow big in my zone if it’s worth it as a small container might send the plants to fruit faster.
Yeah I sowed some seeds two nights ago, couldn’t help but order some hab varieties.
Nobody knows when first frost will be in your area. Everyone has a guess, but it could be later than normal before the first freeze in autumn.
Also! You’re overwintering. It’s never too late to start seedlings w that philosophy. They might need more shade when they start flowering if it’s late in the season, but you can overwinter them so easily if they haven’t yet beared much fruit. I say go for it.

Lol I’m just pulling sprouts from the paper towel in the bag.

Yep. And my nursery where I got all my super hots and exotics went out of business, unbeknownst to me. Thankfully the seeds I saved from last year are doing great.
