    Those vegetalbles need six to eight hours of sun. Are you having problems and if so what can we do for you?

    Where the plants ever kept in the shade before planting? Plants can also get sun burned if not used to being in the sun.

    Myself I think they can get sunburned if they are under stress during really hot weather and they aren't getting the moisture they need. Also if you water when the sun is hot and it gets on the leaves it intensifies the effects of the sun on the leaves, just as it does on our skin.

    I have grown all of the mentioned crops in full sun (sun-up to sun-down) and had no problems. When dealing with transplants, they do need to be "hardened-off" before planting in permanent location.
