No Dear, but we haven't had any frost yet. But your plants look good. We could be contestants
in a box filling. I hope you got a plastic in that one. They look great. Elizabeth is talking us into using old aquariums.
It is pretty in you pic. to.
Yes, we had plenty of Cake and the little girl loved her cake I gave her $$$ to buy her own presents.
We both enjoyed it DH took pic.
Charleen
Dorthea last Flush
Charlene
that is one Georgeous Brug, I think that one get's used a lot for breeding, but I am not sure
Elizabeth
Debra
is that your yard?
Elizabeth
Charlene
that's the best gifts, they never take it back
Elizabeth
If you want a piece ,let me know I have four. Dee gets one and you can have one if you want.
That thing was beautiful. This is one of Mr.Georges.
It is a pretty yard, Debra.
charleen
Charlene
it's too close to thanksgiving, I just had ham deviled eggs, & sweet potatoes, so I am good, but thank you
Elizabeth
Elizabeth , Skilar , the b'day girl is the one holding the hotdog, looking at Buddy their dog.
The little girl over on the left is her sister.
That is what she wanted was to toast hotdogs.
Charleen
Charlene
pretty girl, her sister's a cutie as well, I bet they love their dog, looks like a great party
Elizabeth
awww that looks like fun! ;D
yes that is one part of the back yard up there.. I have laot of boxes, baskets and containers filled with brugs all over the place.. all stages. LOL last year I only had one NOID..
Debra
it's amazing, in 2001, I only had 3Brugs, now I have a lot of Brugs & a lot of crosses grown out from seed, they can really add up but we love them
Elizabeth
It seems like they just jump out of the woodwork.
but they sure are pretty. People all over the world
growing these things.
Charleen
Charlene
my collection really started in 2007, I saw all the beauty's on ebay, I wrote a list, now I have all that I wrote down plus
this year I have added the Sanguinea's now next year I might have a problem, I actually might be out of room
Elizabeth
I could do like Mr. George and plant them on the outskirts of the property.
I don't even like that idea, but i could do it. got enought property I could
plant a lot of Brugs, just wouldn't want to dig them all up. Take too long.
Charleen
Charlene
when you see a 6-7 ft tree with a full flush it's easy to think about digging it up, they don't have a tap root, like a tree
& that makes it easier to dig up
Elizabeth
But 9 acres, Elizabeth???
Charlene
that's got to be great to live on 9 acres, I would roto till up just a Brug bed, dig trenches plant them & watch them grow
with the free fertilzier, I would be in Brug heaven
Elizabeth
I might have to do that with all these stubs I have planted.
Going to be busy next spring.
Charleen
Charlene
next spring you'll get those all planted, & they will grow to 6-7 by the time fall rolls around, I can just see all the trading you will do, I ordered Equador pink from a nusery, it got here in a 3in pot it grew to 7ft the first year, it was 6ft this summer when I sold it, the trunk was 4in in diameter, I dug it up, helped them load it in their van it wah hanging out of the back, that's just how fast they grow
Elizabeth
Charlene
the Clivia's get prettier everyday, I can't wait to see yours Bloom
Elizabeth
Charlene, why would you want to dig them up. You are in zone 8b and almost all Brugs will come back from that zone. I am zone 8 and loose very few. Naughty Nick is one that grows like crazy but does not always come back and when it does it grows real slow. I even have most come back when they are in 1gal. pots. We only have 1 acre inside the yard but by next year we will be moving into the horse pasture. Not all Brugs though, I need room for my Gingers, EE, Bananas and Plumerias. In 2005 we had over 100 Brugs and were down to about 40 this year. Next year we will be back over 70 with all the new ones I am getting. I was a member of several Brug org. but after all the ugly things that happened I lost my love of Brugs and some of the people who grew them. I am only growing them for fun now.
Morning everyone..look at all those beautiful cuttings.
Debra, your yard looks so much like my yard, before we put in the new bed last year..same chain link fence, same patio/parking pad, and I even have the same large white pot..lol. I would have sworn that that was my yard!
Your Clivia is sooo pretty, Elizabeth.
Yeah, Charleen, you could have a brug farm, lucky you...right weather, free fertilizer and lots of room. You could start selling cuttings yourself!
Dee
Ken, I believe I was just talking about digging them up (Idon't know why I was just talking) sometimes I just rattle. I am going to be getting some Gingers from one of the girls, will be my first time for them. Lots of first times this year ^_^ I'm enjoying my retirement with the help of my friends at DG. Aren't we getting plants?, Dee and Elizabeth. I hope my Clivia blooms it is looking good. the little Brugs don't look like they even wilted, I sprayed them with the Recipe after I potted them up.
Dee, did you see the plants Elizabeth sent me? They have leaves.
Good Morning to all.
Charleen
Charleen, you are so lucky to have that climate to grow plants in...I love tropicals..sure wish they were hardy here.
I just looked at your pic of the plants that Elizabeth sent.Girl, those are looking great! I am only gonna be on a few minutes.The grandkids are still here, but they are occupied at the moment with XBox, and don't want grandma to bother them...lol.
Dee
Mornin dee, I agree with you Charleen is lucky to have that climate.
Kenboy, thanks so much for the Recipe, I have been using it all year.
On everything. ;D raining here today, bacon is cooked and cinnamon rolls are done..
a nice DGr sent me some nice anthuuriums yesterday and I am going to pot them up and put with my collection..
Mornin Debra! The grandkids just left. Thought they were gonna be here longer, but there other grandma invited them all over for Sunday dinner. They are gonna get their fill of grandmas this week-end, for sure..lol
Mmmmm, bacon, I love it! Fixed the kids French toast and sausage.As, their mom says thats what they ordered.She says that when they are around me , that it's like I'm running a restraunt...lol She says that I need to what I want and if they are hungry, they will eat it...but I'm weak when it comes to the grandkids..lol
I have never had anthuuriums . In fact, right now, I couldn't even tell you what they look like, but I know that I have seen them.Will have to look them up.
Dee
Good after noon all
Ken, your box is ready to go, with a couple surprizes in there, I will Dmail you in the morning with the confirmation number, I always insure them & mark the package fragil, they seem to make it in good shape that way
Dee
I am glad you got to enjoy the GK's, thanks for the compliment
Charlene
I still have a Brug in the ground here, the leaves it lost from the frost, they are coming back, it's been in the ground now for 6 months, I can't believe it
Debra
you are making me hungry
Elizabeth
I'm back, had to do some running around, but It is beautiful here today. but it sure looks like Fall.
64 degrees. Pulled into driveway and Longears started braying. What a greeting and then here comes
Missyrunning to greet us, i wish she wouldn't do that it scares me. You never know if a squirrell or
rabbit may run out and she gets side tracked. I don't wan'y yo bury my big dog.
Charleen

My cap locks gets on and durnI don't want to go back and re-type.
Charleen
been going around redoing the plants in the window sills... and then got sidetracked with moving summer stuff into the cedar chest, separating goodwill and winter to get out.. I have a sink full of dirt and leaves, a laundry basket full of winter stuff to wash, chicken fried steak and chicken strips out to thaw, potatoes to cook and mash with gravy to mix, music going, DH reading his sunday paper, College girl asleep in her Daddys recliner LOL.. well.. had to take a break.. waiting for a picture Charleen.. lets see your new growth!
Charlene

Elizabeth

Coming right up, Debra
See the new growth, Elizabeth?
This is #2
I took three but didn't like the other one.
got to get outside too pretty to stay in the house.
But here's the one in the house with bowl Bog garden.
Charleen
awwwww how cute is that? Have fun outside today .. cold and rainey here..
We had that last week. I was so glad when it quit. Got to move a few rocks, am working on my bog garden outside. Getting too old to
move rocks. It is looking good. Got another I want to put out there too. The original that everyone is gettings their starts off of.
Charleen, I think your seedling had a growth spurt. It is getting tall, and I see the true leaves coming.
Dee
It is growing that's for sure. It is getting it's true leaves after I sprayed it
with the Recipe. Amazing, isn't it???
Charleen
yes, it is !
I didn't get a thing done today. What a waste.My legs have been hurting. I think that mowing and empty the leaf bag, has gotten to me, but I am done doing it for the year...finally.
We are going to be having a late supper tonight..DH's sugar is up right now.
Dee
Charleen, I have been looking up some of my cuttings, and I seem to have boocoo peachy ones..lol
I have fewer yellow than any.Hmmmm
oh,oh. That is not good.
Better have him to rest ,don't want to be sick.
Got my Bog garden sit up I hope. It looks good to me.
