Still not as full as I would like it but I took a lot of the leaves off a couple of weeks ago and it looks much more open now.
Updated Alley
Looking good Snow. Too bad they are so short... :-) What are you feeding those things. They are really tall. By the way, my Milk N Honey has made a Y, so I'll see blooms this summer. Tickles me pink.
Shirley, Your Shredded White has formed a Y and has a little bud on it. I can't believe it's going to flower being so small. I'm tickled too. :)
Snow . . your brug alley is really looking nice and I can see the brugs are growing and they will be even taller before you know it.
Snow... ur plants are very healthy looking. what is the secret? this newbie need to learn :)!
It should tickle you cream, Brugie!
I can't beleive how they have all grown. Your alley looks too pretty to be called an alley, how about a garden retreat! I can see sitting there in the middle enjoying the beauty and solitude of it.
Snow, your Brug alley is divine darling......
Very nice arrangement Snow.
I can only hope for that look. as soon as mine in the alley :) start blooming, I'm going to post pictures.

Looking great Snow.
oh kell, I forgot to say this. Monika calls hers an alley and we're all dying to have something even similar. So alley in this case isn't the same as we might say 'back alley'
Kell, go back and look at Monika's alley, she has brugs we can only dream of. Snow, your alley is looking good. I'm still trying to make sense of mine. will be interesting to see what kind of brugs we have in ten years....
Thanks everyone.Now if I can just train them to all bloom at the same time. LOL
MVR, no secrets here. The dirt in this garden isn't that good so I fertilize with Miracle Grow or Peter's and I have to admit I've been getting behind on the fertilizing.I really could use a truck full of manure.
Don't they raise a lot of horses in Tennessee? Maybe Cala could bring you a load on her way up to visit. :-) I'd sure like to get some too. May have to talk to a neighbor with horses. Daughter has them, but 2-1/2 hours away is too far to go after dry poo........
LOL Shirley. Now would'nt that be a site with a load of manure on top of Cala's car heading down the highway.
Really nice, I can't wait to see them in person!!
Snow, your alley looks wonderful. Mine isnt close to satisfactory; it has been to hot with too much wind. They quit growing for weeks. Since it became cooler, I can watch them daily recovering, but its too late already. September has proven in the last years to be cold, windy with heavy rain.
oh no monika!!! I hope that it will still come around for you. are you okay? haven't been posting much.
Monika . . I hate to hear that about your brug alley. You really do have such a short growing season to get them blooming. I am hoping Sept. is warmer than usual for you so that you can see the rewards of your labor of love.
Monika, I'm so sorry your weather has been so bad. I will keep my fingers crossed that August and September will bring some great weather to you. Don't give up hope.
Monika, it is so good to hear from you again. Sorry you are having such nasty weather, but I think it must be a world wide thing this year. Spring was horrible for all parts of the US. We were warm this winter, cold in the spring, and finally, when summer came, it came really hot. Saturday it was 99 at 4:15 in the afternoon. The humidity is high and that is good for the brugs and keeping the spider mites away. Hope you get some good weather soon and like Snow said, hope August and September will be good to you and your brugs. Sending wishes that you are feeling better each day.
Monika, sorry to hear you've had a bad season. hoping september will surprise you!
So good to see you posting Monika. My yellow Clivia is blooming again, after I tore it all up dividing. Have thought about you and yours'. Hope you are ok.
Snow that is beautiful, looks like such a nice place to relax. Wait until they all start blooming, soon, I hope.
Great job Snow. It looks great!
I think Monika is the ultimate brug perfectionist - she's light years ahead of me. I think what she calls a bad brug alley year is what I can only hope for in my dreams.
I agree Liz................
