Brugmansia Tester

 I asked a gardener friend in the midwest
early this year if he would mind testing my 3
2024 seedlings.  I also treated him to a
rooted B. Shorty's Variegated for his 
helping me out.

This past week he sent me photos of
what he was testing.

This is a new seedling:



Isn't She So Breath Taking?

Hydrangeas.

Brugmansia Are Blooming

 In the green and brug houses.











































They are sure happy now that they are protected!

Hoop House

 





























Here is where we store the potted plants
that can stay outside but we give them
protection.

Rose of Sharon

 











Our double pink.












Our Variegated.

The above one was found on one of our solid
green shrubs several year ago and not purchased.
There is one the market now from what I have 
learned.
I have noted several seedpods on this one
this year.  So I'm excited to see if the variegation
carries on.

We have several others from white to rose but
since I cut them back last fall to the ground
they won't bloom this year. 

Fall is the time of year to get cuttings.






















That Time Of Year!

 









More Red!

 



















This tree will be the last to come inside.
Just enjoying seeing it bloom.

2025 Set Goal

 This year we set a goal of Oct. 1 
to get all the plants put away.  It's
usually Oct. 15 but this year we 
up it to the first. 

I can say we are a little behind!
As of today I have 2 Clematis,
1 Perennial Hibiscus and 70%
of the roses to strip.

With the Yard Debris Bins
full!

Fall fertilizer was put down
last week so we can just coast.
Lots of dry dead spots in the 
lawn as the heat was terrible
this year.  

As of this evening I only have
one clematis that is in the ground
to cut back before starting on the 
roses.  Everything is put away, 
now to rearrange some things so
I will be able to get into the back 
areas.

Some of the Brugmansia are starting
to bloom again!  Photos on another 
post!

The last Clematis is now gone and 
in the yard recycle bin.   Rain delay!

This afternoon I started to strip the 
leaves off the roses.  I knew the white
flies would be bad by now.  Just taking 
their food away from them instead of 
spraying chemicals.

It's official I have the yard 99% cut back
in the front, now to work on the back.
