Margie, I guess it is just us getting a beating. All my brugs are now bare!

I realize that you didn't ask me and Cala knows more than I do, but I just put five big brugs in the ground all in a row. They were getting too large for their containers, and I had them in the biggest containers that I had available. I pulled up six artichoke plants and put in five brugs, and I spaced them about three feet apart. That may be too close, but I don't mind if their roots are crowded a bit because it wouldn't be bad if they were somewhat stunted, given the area that they are growing in. I hope that they stay somewhat compact and will prune them to be so; otherwise, the area might get a little crowded.

This is what they looked like after they were first planted. Sorry that the picture isn't great, but you can get the idea.
