11/12/2013

I spent a morning in the Brug House doing some clean up.  Need to spend a full day this weekend to strip off
leaves as they are really starting to grow.  I was greeted by B. 'Wild Thing' in full bloom and the fragrance forced me out after just a half hour of work.  I did get to cross a few of her blooms.


She is just so breath taking!!

I have also been watching a couple seedpods on B. Shorty's Variegated and I know these maybe albinos but one just has to play.  I also have one from B. 'Karma' that was done in early spring.

For those of you wondering about my Ludger Project plants, we didn't push these the first year as we
want the best plants we can get so we allowed them to grow naturally the first year.
As you can see they are all happy campers, will bump up into gallon pots in the spring.

Last we have a new sport on the TNN's Reverse Variegated stump  after we removed all the grow from this year!!  When I get time I have some information on what this plant did this past season to share.  I can report that the cutting we took is starting to send off new leaves!

Come On Old Man Winter!!

I pushed myself today to complete all the outside fall chores and can gladly state the rain barrels are all
clean and ready to be filled with rain.  All I have left is to rake/vac or pick up leaves as they fall.  I have the
front yard edged and the patio furniture all put away.  The heaters are in place in both greenhouses so we can now coast.   Are you ready for Old Man Winter??
