pepper problem

Can anyone help please?       :(

I started some peppers off (Bullhorn Mixed) in seed trays in March and kept them in my conservatory at the temperature advised.  The plants grew well, and I transferred them to pots when they had 4 leaves. They continued to do well until a few days ago. When new leaves uncurled, they were curled and deformed, though still a healthy green. I haven't seen any insects on them, and my aubergines which are next to them seem unaffected. I have been putting them outside during the day and bringing them in at night.

Any ideas/advice about this please?

My peppers recently did the same/similar thing.  I don't know what caused it but I gave a weak comfrey feed and a good water and this evening, they looked much healthier.

Hope that helps

I suspect that it is due to low temperatures. The weather recently has been poor with a cold North wind so that although the sun has felt warm when shining, the air temperature has been low with the chill factor making it three or four degrees lower.
All my peppers, chillies, cucumbers, tomatoes aubergines and squashes are still inside various greenhouses and frames and are flourishing. The courgettes which are outside are struggling.
