Another one who just had to get started with some seed sowing.  Started last week on a sunny window cill -
Hot Thai
Gelbe Kirshen - Early Yellow Cherry Chilli
Iranian Round
Nigel's Outdoor Green Chilli
Pretty In Purple
Wenk's Yellow Hots
Lemon Drop

The Hot Thai that I overwintered indoors is frankly looking miserable - and my neglect of said plant is testament to how awful it looks  Lips Sealed 

And welcome to A4A superfowell  - sorry I don't have a greenhouse etc so can't help you out on your question - hopefully someone will be along shortly.....  Cheesy

Superfowell, my chilli seedlings have been in my outdoor unheated greenhouse (down south) since I did that last post, they haven't died. I've got a very small paraffin heater to keep the frost at bay.
Your chillies will be ok, keep them near to the house wall rather than by the windows at night.
I doubt that it would get below freezing at night anyway.

Not grown them myself - but if these are the ones
http://www.chileseeds.co.uk/demon_red_chili_pepper_seeds.htm
Then they are nice and compact..

I have Bulgarian Carrot just germed,  Dorset Naga going well and two types of Indian hot going pretty well as well as some over wintered varieties..
My Spanish Numex have completely failed - none of 6 have germed.. Huh

Hi to all on A4A - Cheers from Oz. I hope you don't mind me sitting in, as your season is the reverse of mine and there's not going to be much action here for the next 6 months. Not to be out done, I have sowed 32 varieties of Chillies and Peppers and will carry them through our Winter, all being well.

Hello and welcome to A4A No-lottie, nice of you to join in. What sort of weather do you get during winter? Not enough available daylight is a problem here.

Thanks Jayb - It ranges from about 10-14C here, with a bit of fluctuation during the day, often with low overnight temperatures 0-4C. Daylight hours are a lot longer than what you get there and I usually manage Carrots, Parsnip, Swede and Garlic during the cooler months, with good success rate. 
I'm a bit of a fancier of tomatoes and chillies, although don't eat them much.

Oooer I'd swap for those temperatures  Grin Bet you get a summer too  Grin
Yes Chillie and tomato obsesed too, and love eating both (trying some Polish Pastel and Grub's Mystery Green this year which I think are from over your way)
Love your avatar, they look very tasty indeed.

Our Summer this year was much better than last year, when we had our bad bushfires here (48C one day - a really hard day to do anything at all).

I'm sure you'll love Grub's Mystery Green, a very nice tomato sliced on a sandwich, one I do like very much.

The Cappia's shown in my avatar are a sweet pepper and very nice eating.

I'll keep one of most varieties and grow next season for eating if I can handle them and sell the rest in Spring. I do use them for seed saving even if I don't like them.

welcome to A4All no-lottie. How did you fare in the storm yesterday?

I have very close connections to Melbourne - North Balwyn in particular. Lovely city!

Hi Tricia - Thanks for the welcome.

We actually didn't get the deluge that hit Melbourne, but we did get a bit of welcome rain from it.

Here are a few photos of what it was like. -
