Good challenge for the girls. Toughen up to the max.

Now my chillies will be chilled just thinking about anything that cold - but as long as it's just cool air and we get sun the pot temps should stay higher (the most important bit IMO)

Ha.....my wife and I were saying exactly that about our sweet and hot peppers 2 hours ago!! Little buggers are in the ground and look bad! Shit happens...still lots of summer for growing!
 
Thats one plant i never worry about...hot peppers....no matter how poorly we treat them, we always get loads of hot peppers

I always treat hot peppers as a 2 year project here - yr one grow em and let em branch (greenhouse/coldframe/window) an you will get a few - and then hack em back in the autumn and leave em somewhere sunny but cool. The next year you pot them up (or transplant out) and you get a monster crop.

OH neat!! Far too cold here for that i think....-40C during the winter here some days, with lots of -20C. We usually get around 30-50 peppers off a plant(chili) and around 20 off jalepenos. Some of the fancier varieties produce much less(they seem to flower later), stuff like ghost and scorpion pepper tend to only put out a couple on our climate.
 
oh dear lool - 4 am - just as well I can sleep in oops...

Night night folks (or as we say in Scotland 'sheep well').
