Default Re: Something's wrong with my Ice Cream. What is it?

Right now my dad won't let me pull it up right now, and there's a massive heat wave coming in soon. I just poked holes in the soil to help dry it out and improve airflow. The weird thing is that when I was digging the holes with a piece of rebar I hit something hard around 8-12 inches down. It felt like rock. Maybe it's a pipe or something. Anyways, it's been taking 2 weeks to complete the last leaf! I can't seem to convince my dad to let me pull it up and put it in a pot for now. He thinks that it'll just injure it. Would I be better off just leaving it in the ground (the heat wave should dry out the soil real nicely, but I fear for the health of my plant) and letting the soil dry out or just pulling it up and potting it in a 25 gallon, or will that injure the roots and stress it too much?
