Hi Rick,

Chances are your garden will grow and you'll do well. It's hard to diagnose without a picture. But as long as your beans have leaves and keep growing new ones, you should be okay. Let me tell you one of the most common problems people face when transplanting from indoors to out: they neglect to "harden their plants off." You see, any light the plants receive while indoors, is lacking the UV rays of outdoor sunshine. These are the same rays which cause people to tan... and to burn. Plants also burn, only when they burn they generally turn white or brown. So, when you move plants from indoors to outdoors you should give them, say... an hour of direct sunlight on the first day and perhaps two on the second day, moving up to four or five hours. I think, once they can take four hours, they're good to go for an entire day.

Another way to harden them off is to set your plants in a place with filtered shade, and then gradually move them out to where they receive more and more sun. This is good for the busy working person, who can't wait around to move plants from one location to another.

The dark spots on your tomatoes and peppers are probably botritus (sp?) a common fungal disease. This one hits when there are extended periods of very high humidity and cool temps. As long as those conditions don't last too long your plants should recover just fine.

Hang in there. Hang around here. Gardenweb is a good place to get advice and encouragement.

Dark spots on stems of peppers are normal. Nothing to worry about.
