Default Need pepper help...WWYD?

I've not grow peppers in years. I do try every year and just get sacked for reasons like not enough hot weather, too damp, short growing season, cut worms, etc.

This year three plants did really well for me. And stopped at some farm stands in my area the past few weeks, bought some interesting peppers, saved seeds.

Last week i was out on LongIsland NY and picked up three pepper plants loaded with fruit in tiny 4 inch pots...i picked the ripe ones and roasted with onions and garlic, pureed a sauce and into the freezer in small packets. (i'll use in soups and salsa all winter)

The plants are still loaded. I've read all the postings about what to do. I'm thinking i should re-pot in gallon grow bags and try to over-winter. On the kitchen deck for now with a few micro tom experiments for another month, harvest, then into the garage with my fig tree?...or keep them in a sunny spot to continue growing indoors all winter?

Pic is the three plants purchased and pics of some of my harvest and some purchased at farm stands. The larger medium sized red is one of the best sweet peppers i have ever had. Dark and thick/heavy for its size. Saved seeds.
