Garden Beans

Yesterday, I checked out Betsy's seedlings. That's Lily Bean keeping close watch. After experiencing some rotting with her first flat, Betsy replanted for a second try. Unfortunately, after their first day in the sun, the new seedlings look really scorched. As already mentioned, the weather here has been very inconsistent: snow last week and seventy-degree weather this week. Further, the sun up here is HOT! I've been warned about the intensity of the sun at our mile-high elevation, but I didn't think it would be a problem until mid-summer.

I'm also not quite convinced it was too much sun that did Betsy's plants in. Brian and I have been moving our 4 just-planted containers outside since Sunday where they get baked in direct sun for most of the day. While transplants are particularly fragile at first, our plants don't seem scorched at all.
Don't give up, Betsy! They might recover after all. Either way, it's great as beginning gardeners to be able to learn from each others' successes and frustrations. Here's to sharing more of the former!
