These have been outdoor for more than a week now, and are doing just fine, despite the looks. We usually plant seedlings directly into the ground like this, and the result for the first few weeks is that they get bitten by small grass insects due to being to low to the ground, and get a little yellow because of that too. It's not ever a problem though, and I think it always makes my outdoor plants stronger. In a couple weeks, these plants should look a vibrant green with no leaf damage. I'm looking forward to seeing these explode under the power of the sun!
