Sun scorched cucumbers and tomatoes - how do i save them?

[Alyson]

Hello
So eventually the weather has turned and I have been able to put my cucumbers, tomatoes and baby pepper plants outside. I have hardened them off over a few days, but yesterday was the first day out all day in the sun. Now the leaves have turned white and a few are dying on all my plants. I think its from the sun. But I am stuck now as what to do? I am keeping them half day I shade and half day in sun now. But what do I do with the leaves? Prune, or leave them?

Transplant shock. Make sure to water and give them a few days. Nearly everyone goes through this.
