Best Way to Hardening of Plants??

I'm in the process of hardening of my plants, but
encountering some problems.  With our nights no lower
than mid 40's and days as high as the mid 70's the plants
seem to like the temperature.  But, they don't seem to 
tolerate the sun well.  I've had to make a temporary shelter with
a white sheet over a fixture and placed the many of the plants
underneath. But many of these plants are supposed to tolerate
full sun: petunias tomatoes, marigolds, etc.  If they're in the sun
they wilt and occasionally blanch by day's end. I'm watering in the morning
and leaving a bit of water underneath.  Could this lead to root rot, as well?

So, what's the best way to acclimate these tender plants.  I'd
like to set them into the garden by Easter weekend.
