> (and our leggy indoor seedlings are still waiting to be > hardened off for our own crop) I transplanted the first week of May, after chance of a killing frost was less than 5%, between rainstorms and tornadoes, when the nightly temps were in the mid 50's. Then the cool, wet weather came back and started mucking things up. The C annuums are holding their own. Not much growth but a few blossoms. No big problems with sunscald. The yatsufusa are thriving. They seem happy to grow bushier every day, even if they aren't getting much taller. A few blossoms on these. No sign of sunscald. The saddest are the two types of habaneros. The chocolate habs lost all of their original leaves to sunscald and/or critters. All were reduced to 3 inch stems poking out of the ground. Amazingly, they are all growing new leaves all up and down the stems. If the season ever warms up they should be dense little shrubs. The white bullet habs lost their leaves to sunscald, but not as rapidly as the chocos, and they are regenerating as bushily as well. Last year I waited for the weather to warm up and dry out a little. I ended up with leggy root-bound seedlings that took forever to perk up. I think I'm ahead of the game this year by letting them fend for themselves in the great outdoors. Scott... KCK
