Put them where they will get the most light possible.  They will survive
with less light but will get leggy.  If this happens, cut them back a bit
after putting them outside in the Spring.  Give your plants a good spraying
with insecticidal soap just before bringing them in.  Keep an eye out for
spider mites and aphids.

Expect some leaf drop over the first few weeks as the plants adapt to
indoor humidity and lighting.  If you get flowers, hand pollinate.

Good luck,

Jim
