Yep! You are "Nuts'....

I plant my brugs Pot-in-pot. That means--they are planted into a 3-5gal.
black nursery pot with holes cut out on the sides (for roots to grow through)
and then THIS pot is planted in a much larger pot--leaving about 1/4 of the
smaller pot exposed at the top. LIke--the big, gray pot you can see in the pictures.

I have NEVER planted a brug straight into the ground.
Can you imagine how far the roots would grow if i did?
And--I would still have to dig them out to bring them in.

If you are interested--I have written a 2 page Primer on Seasonal Bbrug care.

Sally--My Dr. Seuss is finally going to bloom. Maya is on her second flush.
Still having awful leaf problems--but I have never seen a single bug...Hmmmmmm

Here is the leaves on the Maya--just now. I just sprayed again.

1--Yellow leaves on maya brug

2--Yellow leaves on maya

--3--A new phlox that just started blooming. WOW! ???

4--My 1st "selfie"

5--Happy--just for you--this is the pot-in-pot way of planting a brug.
