The first four photos were brugs who spent their first winter in the ground, the winter of 2004/05.

This photo is of Unknown, spending her 2nd winter in the ground, she was planted in the summer of 2003. Unknown is a single brug plant, she was damaged by a crop duster and a power company cherry picker last growing season. She is also planted near a service area, and I was not able to treat her for slugs until today, please forgive the chewed leaves, I hate slugs................but, look how big she is, way ahead of all the first year brugs all put together and doubled. I'm beginning to see a trend, the older the brug wintered, the larger it begins the next growing season, assuming it doesn't freeze.
