you could also maybe grow some greens, lettuces and such if you had the room.
i think it is easier to grow from scratch- seeds or seedlings, than to move plants inside. not the time of year for seedlings to be widely available, and seeds you would have to find online.
(seed savers exchange is having an end of season sale.)

even in warmer latitudes than chi, the seasons are the seasons, and shortening days means dormancy, or at least slowing. if you add enough artificial light, on a decent day length, you should be able to trick than.

and i find that aphids are more of a problem when i over water.

btw, there are some nice little hot peppers out there that make pretty plants, and give you a nice little bit of zing.
