If not, then you can consider transplanting. At this point it is probably too late to put plastic down.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01608113960894125871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676860552207743709.post-79851224746954837382015-05-19T10:48:42.726-06:002015-05-19T10:48:42.726-06:00Thanks for the quick replay Jamie.

I'm not able to measure the diameter of the pot right now, but I'm fairly certain my mom said it was 14 inches when she gave it to me with a pepper plant last year. The plant just laid over from standing vertically this morning. Would you recommend me putting plastic over my planting spot as well? Or is it a foregone conclusion that the ground is totally saturated? Perhaps I'll follow your lead and put my plant in the ground once I see that you've put your kid's in.

Got the kids pumpkin plants started late. I have clear plastic over their planting spots to help keep the ground dry, but don't want to put the plants outdoors yet. They wouldn't die if I did put them outdoors, but better to keep them indoors right now.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01608113960894125871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676860552207743709.post-20709824249410151572015-05-19T09:35:54.688-06:002015-05-19T09:35:54.688-06:00A friend gave me one of your 401 Johnson seeds a f...A friend gave me one of your 401 Johnson seeds a few weeks ago and I planted it in a large pot on May 4th. Things are coming along very well, but I'm concerned about putting it in the ground with the weather we're having (I live in Parker). I also don't want it to become root bound in the pot. What's your recommendation? Should I take it to ground or leave it in the pot and hope the weather becomes more favorable in the next week or so?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949655672738398648noreply@blogger.com
