I'm in Cleveland and I wait to plant until Memorial Day. I start seedlings inside in January. The really hot peppers take forever to get going and really benefit from the extra time. That's why it's much easier to buy from plant sales. Dig around a bit and you'll find them everywhere; like farmer's markets for plants. It's a good way for small farms to get a chunk of money right out of the gate.
Here's some picture's of my trees. It's a little rough back there right now. The cherry is a bing. You can see where the fork is. That's where I "topped" it. They come as 6 foot whips and when you cut the top off you get that fork. I should have done it much lower. The black berry bush is out of control. Everything in that picture is blackberry. They're running everywhere, but I get a shit ton of blackberries every year and they're thornless. The apple tree is a graft with three types of apples.
(Pretty impressed with imgur and the scrolling photo albums.)
Another fruit tree to look into is a pawpaw tree. They're native to Ohio. There's a pretty big community around them. They taste like a banana-custard with the texture of a soft mango.
