ssg ...

That is a good idea. It does take a larger pot with a heavier potting mix longer to dry out. I have even put saucers ... heaven forbid ... under some of my pots and they have been dry by evening. Otherwise, I have to water a couple of times a day when it is this hot.

Thank you.

I've made a practice of potting smaller plants up so that I have a larger root mass before putting them into the ground. I don't like having to over winter things in containers. Mountain winters are variable, but nothing like what I read about your spring this year.

It's my summer temps that are harder on plants than my winter cold temps. I just wish I had more shade that wasn't out in what I call deer territory.
