| I overwintered well over two dozen tuberous begonias and they came up well after potting in March. But then I made mistake of putting them outdoors this week in the sun two afternoons (most were 4-6 inches high) and some of the plant leaves got burned (not all plants, and on some plants only some leaves). I've moved them to shady area, but: Will the plants with several burnt leaves recover? Should I pinch burnt leaves off of all plants? Or will leaves recover on their own? Anyone have advice?

| The damaged leaves will not be able to do what normal healthy leaves would do for the plant so its best to remove --cut back only what is damaged. I had the same inkling today...I've got 6 plants...3 clay pots worth sitting waiting for the good days to appear. Canada's holiday that we use as a guide for putting out annuals...The Queen's Birthday...May 24...is going to be a cool one....so anybody considering putting out the plants this weekend will be suggested to wait a few days more. |
