Not a happy plant day

Well I took the seedlings home so Cassidy and I could plant them. Most of them didn't have their "real" leaves yet so I was keeping them in the starter tray, and had moved it outside to get more light on an overcast day. I completely forgot that I had done this and left them out over the weekend. It got cold and wet one day and cloudless and very bright the next. When I came to the plants most of them had been bleached out and were clearly not doing well. The survivors were the sunflowers, the peppers (though not ready to plant) the radishes, and the pumpkins. Only 1/9th of the cumin that I planted sprouted but it looks as if it will survive, and a couple of the onions and chives might make it.
