that's depressing I thought I had it bad when I need to bring mine in By October.

Andy, thank you for your thought.

Any better idea are also welcome. I would like to keep my plants a bit longer outside so I am looking for reliable means.

I am not a chilihead but chilihands :-)

can you move them inside for the cooler nights? assuming you are not talking frost/freeze the most important things is to keep the soil dry. Cool wet soil means root rot. if its staying dry at night some nights in the 40s shouldn't hurt them.

Andy, thank you for the advice. Some of them I can do, that's the best option I have.

I have read your profile it is very interesting. I am also very glad to see some of our forum members' remarkable works and ambitions I have found in their profiles.

Good luck to achieve "bringing a tropical-sub tropical environment to Michigan".
