When you start tomatoes in doors, You are not supposed to put them out directly into the sun, first you put them in a somewhat shady/protected area to let them adjust.

Even in the shade, the amount of light is a lot more than indoors.

Yeah, the Sun just KILLED my good carrot starts - twice.

Killed the Roma tomatoes (almost got the latest from tomato seeds of Roma). That’s the 3 that may survive.

The Cucumber starts look really weak. I doubt they’ll live. Miracle-Gro is sending me a coupon to replace the Roma pod - I’ll probably buy it with the coupon and put it back seeing as how I’ll have a lot of tomato variety.

I’ve got some other tomato seeds out there - right in the battle - they’re in with the squash seeds. Trying to come up. A few nice starts.

I’m gonna need about 20-40lbs of soil.......and a few more planters.
