You all will be sick of looking at my alley. LOL.
DH went shopping and bought some decorations for the Brug alley. There is a garden Angel playing a windchime harp under the arbor and some painted glass balls. He put my birdbath at the beginning of the alley surrounded by Pansies. Also put in another line of Brugs next to the first lines. All this done today after going to Drs. on Friday and being diagnosed with tendonitis in his arm. Poor guy is about dead tonight.
Your DH deserves a very big hug - gently. It's really taking shape.
It's looking great Snow.
your hard work is showing looking good
my goodness!! it will take me all summer to get mine that big. great job, I know you will enjoy it. he deserves a big reward!
Looks awesome!! You've got a good man there!
Snow...its gonna be......BRUGARIFFIC later this summer!
:-)
Terry, you guys are working your you know whats off aren't you? It is looking really good and I'm sure you will be walking down that alley daily just to look and smell the flowers. I'm not close to much bloom yet, but I still have to do my morning, noon, and night time checks. As if anything is going to grow that much in a few hours. :-)
Enjoy your pictures very much.
S.
This spot will be wonderful as the brugs grow. I can see you enjoying this much in future years.
Snow,
Looking good!!!
Looks awesome,nice to see people buying toys for their babies...LOL
tiG, got him his reward tonight. Went to store while he was recuperating from the gardening and bought two Ben&Jerry's Icecream and other goodies for him.B&J is his favorite thing in the whole world.
Thanks everyone. I promise to post just one more picture of it when it's all finished. LOL
Snow . . . Enjoyed all the pictues. It's alot of hard work but it is so pretty. Your DH is a sweetheart for helping you so much.
Frannie, isn't it about time for blooms at your house. Would love to see the changes in your new garden too.

Yes Brugie, After being gone almost a week and just getting back yesterday evening, I was welcomed by many blooms and buds. Isabella, Cypress Garden, Equador Pink, Whiskers, Candida Double White, Dr. Seuss, Frosty Pink, Suave. White, Veris Peach, Waltrund. It was so exciting to see so many type blooms. I love it!!!!!!!! In the next couple of days, I will take some pictures of the garden. Hopefull there will be many more in bloom then. It's so good to be home.
Snow, your DD and mine have one thing in common...my DH eats 2-3 gallons a week, kids rarely get any! it looks really good.
LOL Arlene, Funny how guys can eat all kinds of junk food and not gain wait. I eat one meal a day(supper) and drink water and diet soda and I gain weight. Dr says I'm not eating enough. Go figure!
Snow, your hubby deserves a big hug! Its beautiful.
My hubby asksm what kind of soil you have. He figured it to be part clay - sand mix.
Snow, i think there's something to that. DH has 32 waist, 6'2". eats as much meat in a day as i do in 2 weeks.
Monika, Your hubby is half right. There is a lot of clay in the soil. Would like some more sand though.We sometimes go to the sand pit down the road and bring back a few buckets of sand to add to the soil.
Mme Blin has it in her garden, as soon as it rains, its just as slippery as a ice patch. But her Brugmansias love it and together with the mild climate in the Rhine Valley, she has the ideal growing conditions. I talked to her the other day, she will be 80 years old in November. The Brugmansias make her forget the pains and aches of age, she said.
Snow, your garden looks absolutely stunning! Your brugs have a good height on them, and the making of a brug alley that we will all be envious of. What a nice husband you have, mine is just the opposite...I really have to rpod him to mow the lawn.
Monika, I have clay soil too, and am glad to hear that brugs do well in this type of soil.
Frannie,
Could you post a picture of your Waltraum?
Gloria . . I will post a picture within the next couple of days. I think the blooms will be open then. I believe I got this cutting from you and I also thought that I read somewhere that it was a light pink. It looks pretty yellow to me right now . . will have wait and see if it turns pink.
