Transplanting droopiness

[Purple Banana]

I transplanted my plants from the garden to their final growing field- rich and fertile soil in each, well watered, standing upright and flourishing- they drooped a bit during transfer as soon as I pulled them with their root balls, but watered them again as soon as they were in the ground again- they're about 6 weeks old, about half a foot high.

I'm assuming it was just temporary shock, and they should perk up again if I give them time?

It's called "transplant shock". Not much you can do about it now except for cutting back on that water so they're not drowned on top of the shock. Next time you feel a need to transplant make sure you have a bottle of SuperThrive handy...this is what ST is for!
