It looks like the improvised cold frame did its job - all the plants seem to have survived. The Grenada Seasoning pepper plant lost a few leaves that may have been a result of the cold. Time will tell if they have been shocked or affected negatively, but for now they superficially look good.
I had an outdoor thermometer transmitting the temperature inside the cold frame into the house. The coldest night got down to 35 degrees outside, but under the frame it was only 40. The next day had some more afternoon sun that warmed it up even more keeping the temperatures into the mid-50's despite it being 40 outside. Not a perfect solution, but it was worthwhile.
Lots of warm Spring days ahead and I think the garden will be just fine.
