sounds to me like the plants just haven't rooted in well yet, which is to be expected when you've just planted them out. In other words, the size of the roots aren't in proportion with the size of the tops. If they get in a lot of sun, the roots just aren't able to process the water up to the tops fast enough. If you rig it up a little shade, as they root in in a few weeks they should be able to be rooted better and be able to process quicker then.
