...to quote Snoopy. We have had such a horrid drought that every bloom I get on my brugs, drops...nevr mind that I ahve been wtering them DAILY. I finally get a couple of blooms htat DON'T drop...and the critters get them. I keep them srapyed with orthonex and Thurcide...so I don't think it is cats. But we have a lot of grasshopppers, turned brown (which means locusts that eat everythign in sight)....not to mention japanse beetles. One, or the other...or both...has been feasting on my ONLY two buds to make it to a reasonable size. I've got some small buds coming up, so maybe I'll still get a bloom or two this year. But next Srping, I am moving them to a shadier spot so it isn't such a fight to keep them from withering....
