    Hi evryone. Thanks for the help. Back again! I habe had plants in the greenhouse for 1 week now and it has been unusually sunny here in scotland. I did gradual harden off the plants giving them a bit more greenhouse time each day before putting them out but now i have a little beige patch appearing on some of the leaves. Is this just scortch again ? And if so. Can i do anything about it ?

    Thanks again

    yes that looks like scorch,

    when watering don't do it when its sunny, first or last thing if you can,

    don't wet the leaves (they don't like it and you can get fungal infections)

    and if it is really bad you can put screening up on your greenhouse (or whitewash the glass) to shade it a bit

    Just smear it liberally over all the leaves image

    For safety's sake, best you stick to treehugger's advice :) with which I strongly agree.
    Water 1st thing if you can, if not then when it's cooled down in the eve
