Susan,dont give up on these plants yet.Its not unusual for peppers to
droop/wilt in the face of abrupt cool temps(un-conditioned peppers
usually do this at 40f.)They proably came from a green house and are not
accustomed to anything other than ideal temps.Make sure they have
adequate moisture and warmth,slowly harden them off for the garden.If
your current temps are not warm enough to plant yet just continue to put
them out in warm area or a sunny window until temps settle down to at
least 45d night min.They are just in shock and will be fine if you
follow the above.
