Cabbage and beetroot will not mind cold nights. If you are worried put some fleece or a cloche over them.

Chillis definately do not like cold so keep them inside.

Do pea shoots need covering for frost or can they tolerate it?

Peas can take a light frost.

Harden them off first, then they will be fine.
