	Guys, does this sound like sun-scald to you? I have had similar problems
with tomatoes and peppers in the past if they went out in too direct light
too fast.... and I also almost lost a couple of azaleas this spring to the
same problem. I think it's not a question of too warm but too much UV too
fast.... correct me if'n I'm wrong here, I could use the info for sure....

	Why not bring them plants  indoors for ripening? A sunny spot might just do
it....
