I shot the gun a bit early myself. I didn't get any frost, but the temperatures overnights weren't ideal. It was definitely a learning experience. All my plants were definitely stunted, but they're pushing forward now. While it's not what you were hoping for, at least you'll have something. Keep your head up and may the heat be with you.
 
I planted over 750 peppers and out of that population I have selected 12 plants to over-winter.  This year I began the process extremely early... these plants were uprooted, pruned, and transplanted in late September, when it was still warm and they had a chance to rebound under the warm sun, as opposed to my usual and unsuccessful attempts to uproot and bring in a plant in late October and early November, as the icy wind is already blowing at their roots.  
 
These plants seem to be extremely happy at the moment.

Your OW'ing setup is insane!  I like that you did a lot of the work early.  I think I will try that next year.
 
Thanks very much for the idea!

You are welcome... today I have actually been spraying them with neem oil... they are all very badly infested with several bugs simultaneously...  However, the bugs arent doing too much damage to the plants themselves.  They fell off by the hundreds as I was spraying... neem seed oil is the bee's knees.  After 4 or 5 applications over the next two months, I anticipate that they will be wiped out... if not I will order some ladybugs.
 
FWIW, I have done the ladybug thing and it works very well. It is like a scene out of a Natural Geographic movie. Ladybugs eating aphids, mass extinction, awesome stuff. If you do go there, I would be you can get some good bug netting that would fit your area well, just so you don't get too many escaping around the house.
