Perhaps since they are almost tropical plants, they won't grow too well once
the weather turns cold. So you might get better final growth or fruit
ripening by
bringing them inside where it's warm well before the first frost...... just
conjecture, I'm not too sure. Problem is, indoors often has less light. If
you experiment (bring some inside, leave some outside), let me know what
happens.
