I use a lot of passive heat to keep my delicate plants like peppers and eggplants alive in the wintertime. I plant them near large amounts of concrete and brick, like the house, knowing that I want them to survive through winter. Then, just some blankets and at worst, Christmas lights and fans, I've kept them alive through the nights down to 22 degrees. I always water well if it's going to be cold, too.
