I just planted a vegetable garden yesterday when it was sunny. I have tomatoes, bell peppers, cukes and peas. (cukes and peas are seedling and the others are transplants.) The weather this week is going to be rainy and cloudy with basicly no sun at all. ALL WEEK. ugghh I know the vegetables need to be in full sunlight for at leats 4-6 hours a day. Will they just be dormant untill I get sun again, or will they actually die? I'm not sure what to do this week.
I remember when I was younger, my mom always told me to put sun screen on even when it was cloudy at the beach because you can burn worse in the overcast than in full sun. Don't know how true that it, but I do know that I got sunburned even when there was no direct sun. The rays make it through one way or another.
It's actually better to set out new seedlings on a cloudy day. If you put them out when the sun is really strong, it will burn them up. I'd say you got lucky with your timing.
