Hi guys
I was wondering whether it will be Ok Safe to move my small chilli and tomatoe plants in greenhouse. I'm in Yorkshire in England , temp is 8-12 for next few days daytime and a whopping ( not ) 4 night temperature for next few days.
Sick of this poor weather!
Thanks

I’m not really looking at the temperatures, but just as a general rule, I would hold back the peppers and wait a week or 2 weeks sometimes after tomatoes go out — baby peppers generally need air temp that is 5°F warmer, and pepper roots need warmth to grow. Sometimes, the plants will not be harmed but will not grow until warmer.
So I NEVER think of putting peppers out at the same time as tomatoes unless the peppers are getting extra protection and extra consideration to be kept warmer.
