One of my Jalapeños doesn't look too happy, hopefully it'll perk up once the sunlight hits it.
Forgot to comment on this. What the? You trying to beat the system? May (Mothers Day usually) is when its safe outside but even still if we don't get frost, Peppers especially HATES 40s and 50s temps and prefer 80s/90s during the day. Do you have a greenhouse?
Current Alerts map. I'll update when they extend the freeze & frost alerts.
Under this same pattern in July/August, I imagine we would be hitting 100 F or even 103 F or so. It was 102 F here on June 22, 2009 (though MIA and FTL both "only" reached 99 F and 98 F respectively, I'm more inland however).
I remember that day because it was 100 F with close to 50% humidity...close to a 120 F heat index.

Wow, I thought they'd be fine as long as it didn't go into frost territory, glad you told me before I managed to kill them lol. They along with the tomato will be inside for at least the next two days. The herbs will come inside at night just to be on the safe side. I have a cheap ($20) little greenhouse, but on sunny days it gets entirely too hot (105-115F), and it's only mid-spring.

I hope it's right too. It's the May we deserve, and the one we need too
