Good Morning!

I'm new to this site, just signed up a few minutes ago.  I'm in the Piney Woods of Northeast Texas.  Have a few Brugmansia, among them Dr.Seuss, and would be happy to take cuttings.  Our forecast is for 33
and 32 degrees Saturday and Sunday so I'm going out this afternoon to take cuttings anyway.  I'm fairly new to Brugs, although have been a gardener all my life it seems.  I've been fooling around with a web page at

 http://www.crosswinds.net/~maggidew/ Don't have a lot of photos yet, but will add more next year.

Am looking for all information I can get on culture.
 I'm thinking I need to put them on a really aggressive fertilizer program
next year.  Also, I'm concerned about the pH they like.  We have
pretty acid soil here, red clay and iron ore rock.  We use lots of compost.

Anyway, it's nice to be here!
