I have to say the pepper powder may not work. I have 2 stubborn German Shepherds. I tried black pepper and then cayenne pepper powder and they just licked it up off the ground. But they also try to eat there poop so they may be a little off.
I'm in the same boat. I'm just going to let them ride it out and see who's left standing. My habaneros stay outside all yr and they have lived for 3 Yrs. I think we only have to worry if it's going below zero or frosting.

Just thought I would share my triumph with y'all since this forum contributed almost all the knowledge to get me here. Just some background I started these plants in may and in pots . Not optimal I know but I'm just proud I got them here and they are my first plants started from seeds. They are...
