Nanas Down

 Today's task was to take all the nanas

down and this year we are lining the

inside of our fence to keep the critters

from digging up under the fence.

All Down!  These came crashing down!

Tarps Are On!

 Since we have had some 40

degree morning weather it's

was time to put the tarps on.

The Brug house was a breeze

as we have been using the same

tarp for several years.

Then it was time to tackle the greenhouse and

the hoop house, this year there a new tarp for 

both the greenhouse and the hoop house.  What 

fun it was to get that tarp on!

All on tarp to cover both houses.  We will have 

to see how or if water pond on the tarps.

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.  

B. Shorty's Variegated:

This is a new seedling:

We are seeing signs of pink in her

as she ages.  The tester recommended

the name Pink Lemonade for her.

Another seedling being tested:

Came from the Mother / B. Dusty above.

Isn't She So Breath Taking?

 

This is off one of our variegated

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.
