Mine have been in an unheated greenhouse since they were a couple of inches high. They should be fine out there. Blips in the weather shouldn't hurt if they're in a greenhouse. Just make sure that you don't get the leaves wet as they could scorch in the sun. Water from the bottom, or use a can with the rose removed and just stick it on the soil.

Thanks Flummery...

I think I will stick them all out then.

Ripening peppers

I have a pepper plant which has grown 2 peppers. The peppers stopped growing having reached full size a few weeks a go, but havent begun to turn red yet- is there a way of ripening them or shall i just leave them longer?

You can use them green, Mushroom, or you can just leave them on the plant to turn red (or whatever colour your variety goes when ripe). The trouble is if you leave them on the plant, it may start to sulk and not produce any more fruit. I would pick and use them green.
