It's 5 or 6 weeks yet before I put my peppers outside to stay. I have 3 over wintered pubescens that I started putting outside to test how they do in cool temps. Daytime here is 50's and 60's with night temps of upper 30's and 40's. I will bring them inside on nights it dips below freezing. In the past when I have tried to rush the season with other peppers ( non pubes)I ended up with stunted plants.
