Hello All.

We're expecting a high temp of -1 F here tomorrow, but my Brugs are snoozing happily in the basement. It took a couple years, but I think I now have this overwintering thing down. Last fall, when I brought them indoors, I removed most of the leaves and added a systemic insecticide to the soil (I'm not thrilled about using chemicals like that, but, otherwise I would lose them all to spider mites). Once a week, I give them about a cup of water. That's it. I expect each and every one of them to make it through the winter just fine.

Only three more months until outdoor gardening season here!
