[Arid_gardener] peas

[Dick Gross]

Karen, without knowing how large this plant is, I would wait until the soil temp is about 75F or higher. In cool, damp media it will just languish and suffer more shock from from the disturbance and be susceptable to disease and rot. It might be prudent to transplant it into a pot where it can get adjusted until you can put it in the ground roots intact and happy from the pot with minimal root trauma. 

Almost everything in my yard is badly toasted. I am supposed to be on the VOSG  yard tour March 31. I cant imagine what this place will look like by then.

  bwahahaha

  my peas are fine - my bougainvillea & a snail vine got hit very hard but ya know, they were a little over the top anyway & kind of needed a good trimming.  Unfortunately, they are all on the front of the house so that looks a little forlorn at the moment.  My peppers are completely gone, as well as the tomatoes, but the orange tree survived fine - as did the new stuff I had planted just a week or so before the killing frost.  A jacaranda tree got hit somewhat severely, though I'm sure it isn't totally gone.  Kind of interested in seeing how badly everything got scorched.

  Oh - maybe you can help me with this - I have some lavender that got scorched, but that I want to transplant anyway.  Do you know when would be a good time to do that?

  Happy pruning!
  Thanks,
  Karen
