The brug in the photo with me (above) was one of the cuttings I started last winter (they were large branch cuttings) at this forum:

This is what it looked like last week. I pulled up all of the vinca last night and spread a layer of horse manure on the bed. On Saturday I'll dig out the brug (it's huge) - I will either cannibalize it for cuttings, or experiment with trimming the roots and cutting back the foliage and see if I can hold it over in a pot in the basement.

Saturday afternoon I have a guy coming to till the bed and work in the horse manure. Then I will plant the 1,000 YELLOW tulips and mulch for winter.
