Datura and eggplant should be sown in late February, and the rest in mid October.

Hamab bhai, Datura can be saved if it is placed in a sheltered place. But it is better to sow seeds in late February.

@Tahir Bhai
What sort of shelter/protection do you recommend? Indoors? Frost free or green house?
Is it the cold which kills it or frost?

A clear plastic sheet will do the job...i don't recommend greenhouse cloth as it will block a lot of light and in winter you are already getting half the sunshine.
The frost will kill the plants not the cold.

Thankyou. I asked because i have started datura and plan to do so with some other similar plants. I think i should make a small area bounded by green sheet from two sides and a flip opening in front(south facing) sort of a cold frame
