My jalapeno and habanero leaves are in trouble!!! NEED HELP PLEASE

They have been in my raised bed for 1 week, and are developing holes. They are also breaking off the leaf. 1 Habanero plant turned yellow, soft and hit the deck.
Can someone help my plants? Will post pics if necessary.
 
Hardening off means getting the plants used to outdoor conditions such as sunlight and wind.
I burnt up a few of my plants last year when I first started growing.
 
As I have been told by others.....watering every 2 days is probably a bad idea. Hot peppers like fairly dry soil...or so im told.

Sometimes every 2 days or even every day may be needed. All depends on your climate.
Last year I had to water almost daily during the hottest summer months.
You just have to make sure you dont keep your roots soaked all the time.
 
In raised beds though watering almost every two days seems a bit much. I could understand smaller pots, maybe its just meee. What kind of soil are you using kc?

Did you harden them off before planting out?

No. How do you do that?



End of story. They went into shock. Research "hardening off" and you'll have better luck next time. It's a learning process, we all go through it.
