One thing I an sure about is that aubergine and peppers are anuals. You
can't overwinter them. Sure you can keep them longer if you look after
them, but they need sowing/planting every year. Don't think that you can
keep them, they will die. It is natural for them to die and when the fruits
of the year have ripened, they drop seeds to grow next time the climate and
conditions are right.

It's not what we don't know that causes the trouble; it's what we
know for sure that ain't so!

Peppers are perennials, grown as annuals in the UK. They will
sometimes overwinter if you have the right variety and handle
them right. There are a lot of short-lived tropical perennials
that are almost always grown as annuals in the UK.

I doubt that any of those are worth trying to overwinter, including
the ones I have omitted any references to.
