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.

So just to get this right if I plant out my cabbage and beetroot seedlings they should be ok but cover if worried about frost

Harden them off first, then they will be fine.
