Hi Jeremy,
Well it sounds to me like you've done everything right so far. My advice is
to go for it! The plants sound big enough & you say temps are high enough.
My only advice is to be aware of stem strength....If you've ever bought a
nursery grown pepper plant you'll have noticed how strong/stiff it is. If
yours are not as strong (like mine always are!) I'd recommend planting them
a little deeper than the current soil line level. And other than sheltering
them in case of severe weather untill well established, you should be all
set.
Hope this helps,
Paul
