Glorious Rain

 Finally rain that we badly need

and I am enjoying the birds out

in the rain gathering food.

Not enough to get us out of the

drought!  Remember July was 

the start of the burn ban here!

 It's Fall, morning fog already! 

Time To Load The Greenhouses

 With the fall crocuses up it's time

to start getting the plants ready for 

their winter home.

First I needed to remove the Voo Doo

plants so I could clean out the Greenhouse

so other plants could go in.

Stripping the leaves off is the first

task.  

Cutting the Brugmansias down so they

will fit in into the greenhouse.

The 3 B. Shorty's variegated were the first

to get cut.

After the huge B. Shorty's is pulled 

from the big cement pot, it was time

for Bones to take his place.

The next few days will be stripping

the A. Red Dragon then cutting 

them down so they will fit the 

greenhouse.

Got to love this plant &

it's blooms!

I got an email this am, why do 

you strip and cut back so drastically?  

It's about the space we have in the 

greenhouses we keep.  If you look

at the leaves you will notice the 

difference in the leaves.  Outside 

are much thicker compared to inside

which is much thinner.  Leaves will

grow back, trust me!   

Working hard on getting plants

ready to go inside.  

Still working on this tall 

one as the wind kicked up

and it wasn't fun holding

onto the ladder too.

Please do not copy us if you

don't understand the process 

or you can damage your plant.

Look at the reason you are 

seeing damage from your 

neglect.

More later. 

Seeing Red

 

9/7/2025 Before

 8:00 am / All cleaned and ready to

fill due to the smoke coming from a

local firepit.  Yes, there is a burn ban

since July, but who cares.

By 6:00 pm The Brug House was filling up 

fast.  Now you know why I'm so busy!

Sorry if you were looking for blooms this year

but I have to protect the collection!

Just 36 more to go!
