Question: I sprouted some cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes inside. They appeared to be doing fine. I started putting the tomatoes outside a few days ago. Yesterday I put the cucumbers and peppers out for the first time. Apparently I left them out too long. Some of the leaves on the cucumbers turned white. They look terrible. Is this from cold (It was in the 60s) or too much sun or what? The peppers and tomatoes seem fine.
