I'm having an awful time getting plants going. Every time something comes up, a storm shreds it, a dog tramples it, a flood drowns it, the pecan trees poison it, or a squirrel eats it. If anything survives all that, the lawn guys will inevitably whack it down!
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?
I was hoping to plant them in October. Or should I just give up and try, yet again, next year?
I was a professional gardener in Michigan, but down here I can't even figure out how to grow a dang tomato plant! The frustration is unbelievable. I'm about to give up gardening and just take up drinking.
Thanks for your time.
