Looks like sunburn. Is it a new plant or new to outdoors? Has it been acclimated?

I did acclimate them on the deck; they may be getting more sun in the garden.
Will they be okay?

Had this happen to me already this year. My peppers and tomatoes got full all day sun and I only acclimated then to partial sun. Most of mine made it but are still very small.

How many days did you acclimate them? About how many hours of direct sunlight did they get initially versus full time in the garden?

I did acclimate them for many days because our nights have been so cold. I guess the garden is much harsher than the deck. Another lesson learned. I sure hope they recover, they were so beautiful

The scorched leaves won't but new ones will grow. It will be OK.
