Rootdoctor, at your service *lol* I hope that the spring sun will come soon and warm up the ground. Here in zone 7 its already started, but its a bit early to plant the tender plants out, but I have just heard from a friend in zone 8a that had a good snowfall. Spring comes different in every zone, but sometimes the lower zones in a favorable position, can be quicker to warm up, than the higher zones. I`ll cross my fingers that you will have them all in the dirt, before you know of it :)
Thanks, TwinLake, I have misses all of you equally as much and its wonderful just to be here.
Brugnanny, its good to hear from you too :) we lost about 150, most large plants, but have still got about 140 left. We had to cut them down to the potline, because of the frost damages, but after the sleep in February, they started to shoot as I have never seen them shoot before. Its a veritable jungle in there and this afternoon we moved the coffeatable and the two small chairs out to get more growing space. Both Larry and Eric`s seedlings made it and we have all 99 that we selected from Erics seeds last year. I wonder why, if there is a higher meaning by that? These are all versicolors and everyone seem to assume that they are very tender plants that resents cold *lol* Maybe they do? ... but Erics did fine through the 6.^*C December frost, where so many failed. I am not a very relligious person, but in this case I caught myself thinking that there may be an angel watching over them.
Thanks JT :) I enjoyed very much the pictures that you took of Ember at Christmass. Its a wonderful Brug.
Alice, I missed you as well. No more leaving. Youh ave got my handshake on that. Yes, the sky can be enchanting, can`t it? That must be wonderful sitting out on that porch watching the sun go down.
Good to be in your company as well, Liz. Sunrises can be equal in beauty to sunsets *lol* What makes me favor the sunset is the moment after, just before the twilight set in. Thats when all the birds suddenly stops to sing and air become as quiet as a silver-blank lake.
Thanks, Hibiscus :)
Mary, hello to you :) Yes, it can and even the best piece of music can`t compete with it.
Debbie, have you been bitten by the Brug fever as well? *lol* The first year is always something special, so full of hopes and dreams and its like every possibillity lies open. I wish you an unforgettable first year :D
Pebble, I hope that your DH will take good care of your Brugs. I have the feeling that he will. Are you moving to Turkey as well? If its possible I like to send you and your DH a packet later on.
Mystic, I hope I can live up to that :) I will do my best and will enjoy your posts and pictures as well. I allready did. I remember the white flower that you posted, where Kell later posted her pasta cutter, because it reminded her so much of it *lol*lol*
Kisses to you Kell. Yes, we are a one big happy family. Its unbelievable good to be here again. Hugs! You know, you left me with a tear in my eye by that song :` Its wonderful to hear you sing again :)
Hi Dennis, how are your sanguinea and vulcanicolas coming? Did you decide what Daturas to plant for your project? The stramonium group can take a lot of wind and cool temperatures as well, but the wrightiis can take a bit of that as well.
WaterlooLilly, Thanks. It sure warms the heart to know :)
Anna, congratulations on being Granmom for the very first time. It must be wonderful. Have you thought about names for the little man? :)
Gwist, my friend. There you are. I just asked Kell, where to find you :D Yes, it turned cold again and down in the - 3-4 *C at night, so its beers infront of the stove here as well or in the winter garden. Did you get the seeds in the dirt? I hope you can find a bit room for them. I know, that you grow many already now :) I will have more to send you later Hugs :)
You better start to believe it *lol* That made my day as well to find that you are still here *lol* Yes, lets look at the catching up, my friend. I can`t wauit to start :)
