Here in the southern California high desert, I have about three jalp plants
that are in their third year outside and vigorously producing, having
survived two winters outside.  Also several bell pepper plants are on their
second year.  It's unusual to have a hard freeze, but it does freeze
occasionally.

These plants are close to the house, and also not far from the water heater
closet.  I prune them severely before the coldest temps, generally January
is wickedly cold, as is February and the first part of March.
