Thanks to all of you, for the great replies.

They are still in the pots I purchased them in - they were just placed out in the garden to get a feel for how things will look. It's been 100F all week here, and the leaves are just looking weak. I'll get a picture later.

My first thought was just to say whatever, and throw 'em out there anyways, and hope they can come to terms with the conditions. But I really do baby my plants, and I haven't been able to make that decision on my own.

I live at the top of the hill, and we have terrible wind that ravages the garden , which is built up to a fence at the edge of the hill. Maybe not the best place for it, but really the only option. I think it's the combined stress factors that is really taking its toll. Not only do they have to deal with extreme heat, but also heavy winds. I think I am just going to plant them - put in supports, keep 'em moist and hope for the best.

Thanks again, for all the help!
