How sensitive or how tough are these dragonfruits?

So basically I inherited this huge dragon fruit “trellis”. It consists of 3 individual plants all tangled. There no individual trellis for each and basically I can’t move them around.

Basically I want to know how tough or how sensitive they are as I want to break down the structure and make the classic trellis in a pot individually so that I can move them and protect them as needed.

The frame is all metal and they stay there permanently all year through the summer and winter uncovered. Currently fruiting so I don’t want to start completely over as these are mature.

I want to know if my dragonfruit plant will survive if I cut the metal frame and transplant it to new pots as I want to be able to move them around.

Am I early, late, or on time?

Never had a lawn at my home. Now I have little ones I’m trying to have a place for them to enjoy some time outside playing in some grass. I’m in California 9b. I had already dug up the previous owners irrigation since they had concrete additions that they just poured over and water was going under my driveway. All that has been fixed and removed. I just decided to put brand new lines to not have any issues later.

I plan to seed a new lawn in the fall. I still need to finish installing the sprinklers and get them dialed in. Then I plan to spray something down to ensure there is no weeds in the dirt (lol) and then compact the soil a bit ( I have some spots that are super soft from over tilling ?) and then wait to seed sometime after Labor Day?

Does this seem reasonable or am I missing something?

I plan on seeding with Jonathan Green Golden State Mix.

As the title says, am I early, late or on time with my vision of A new lawn for this coming fall.

Any tips are appreciated as this is my first time doing this.

Bloomin!

My first 2 dragonfruits bloomed today! I see a third baby one coming behind these two beauties. The plant decided to abort 4 others pretty early but these seem to have made it. I manually pollinated them but I’m not sure if it will work since they are NOIDs. Fingers crossed though. Beautiful sight regardless of fruit or not!

Advice on sunburn

I’m new to San Pedro’s and I started with these cuttings. They started to throw new growth but I mistakenly put them out in the sun due to being inpatient and sun burned them. They are fine and still growing but now I have these sun burns. Is there anything I can do to heal them? Or am I stuck with the scarring now?

I also would like to stick them in the ground as I live in the Central Valley California and these will get plenty of warm/hot days and only a few months of rain. Is it too late in the season to go in the dirt? Or are they still too young to be placed in the ground.
