Anyway, now I'm trying to grow plants in pots until they're big and substantial enough to have a better chance. The problem is, by the time they were about 5" tall, they stopped growing due to 90+ temperatures.
Should I bring them inside? Would they start growing again in a sunny window?
Sorry for being late to this thread...
Are things doing any better?
The problem with plants refusing to grow while in nursery pots is something I deal with as well.
The problem seems to be that the soil in the container gets too hot.
Bringing the plants indoors to suffer in the AC... wouldn't be my first choice.
Is there any way that you could insulate the pots?
Like... say dig a hole in a raised bed and set pot in?
At my house, I go ahead and plant when the seedlings stop thriving in the containers... but I'm not dealing with lawn crews, squirrels, dogs, or floods...
