| This is my first year growing my own from seed, so I started small (or what i thought to be small) I only planted ttwo 72 pot jiffy pot green house, well i planted 6 different kinds, Beefsteak, Cherry, Big Rainbow, Black Krim, Black from Tula, and Cherokee Purple, I live in TN and we have hot summers, I should have thought about how they'd do before I planted but alas i didn't. Can anyone tell me which i should and shouldn't grow next year? I started them on time, but when i began to introduce them to the out side world, almost all but maybe 5 of about 30 big rainbow plants lived to maturity, do they require something special or is it just my climate? Any tips is appreciated, just starting my own garden :) 20 pepper plants, 24 tomato plants |

| Were all the varieties affected by moving outside or just the one? If it was all of them, it sounds more like a hardening off problem than a variety-picking problem. Can you tell us more about how you introduced them to the outside? How big were the pots they were grown in? Did you pot them up into bigger pots as they grew, etc.? Kathy |

| It was just the big rainbow, and they were in about 3 inch pots I transplanted them into, i slowly introduced them but after about a week i figured they were fine to stay out almost all day, they were in a semi-shady spot to keep them from frying, I just wish i knew what i did wrong or if it just doesn't do well here. The remaining plants are doing good though. |
