I'm unsure just what to do. My plan is to plant them in the ground.
I thought I'd see if maybe I'm not watering them enough? First few days outside we got a lot of rain. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d23/ratrod67/Mobile%20Uploads/20170507_160415.jpg

Those leaves are sunburned. ... Toooo much sun; too soon. Move to a shaded area for a while. New leaves will grow.

I'll try putting them in a spot with more shade. Thank you for replying.

The top leaf is doing well and has adjusted to the sun. The other leaves will die, but new leaves should be OK. .... However, I would move it to an area for partial shade from the hot afternoon sun for a few weeks. ... What are you afternoon temps? At mid 90's & 100 deg. you can get leaf scald. It looks the same. So sitting on concrete during very hot days is not good.

I've moved them. Hopefully that helps. It gets up into the 90s and 100s here. I'm hoping to plant them in the ground.
