Little late for this year, but for future reference, peppers need warm soil for maximum growth. Also, peppers, like tomatoes, produce more if you set them a little lower into the ground than their surface in the starter parts. They are capable of adding extra feeder roots along the buried trunk.
Did you know that you can take your pepper plants indoors before it gets cool and use them as house plants? this works especially well for hot peppers. Fun to pick your habenero's from the windowsill. Just make sure that you keep them moist and misted as they are prone to spider mites when the air is too dry. Of course you don't want to use poisons on an edible house plant, so a strong blast of windex (believe it or not) followed in a few minutes by water will do that trick. Enjoy...
