In feb/march I got into growing chilli's and kept reading a thread on

more of the rarer or more exotic varieties other users have grown- the
big one being Lemon Drop.

Is it now far too late to start a fresh batch of seedlings?

I would definitely say it was too late for 'real' peppers, months and
months too late. But I think chillis grow a lot quicker, so maybe there
is hope, especially if we're due a late autumn. Probably the only way
to be sure is to try it out.
