Many years ago, I lost two pots of fully grown indoor bushy tomatoes in
three days as I needed to leave them in an exposed garden when I moved.

Bean plant would like to have a sunny place to grow but if the root system
is not established, it cannot not take water fast enough under the sun and
strong wind.

As a teacher before, I always compare the growing of plants with bringing up
of kids, an indoor or greenhouse environment providing them a safe
environment to start with. However, there should be a process of hardening
off before we let the protected plants to expose to outdoor environment.

If plants have been sown outdoor starting from the beginning, they will
germinate and grow slower first, so they have stronger stems and more
developed root systems to deal with the wind, pest, sun, drought, etc.

With regards,
