You do not want to be a non producing Brug around here today,it is put out of get out time.we are going into the lower 40s soon,and it is time to decide who stays or goes.
Cull time
Here are some that are breathing a sigh of relief.
I'm starting to do this too. Saving about 5 or 6 out of about 75 or 80.
Yep,I am already out of big garbage cans,and have to go to bags now.
I am in putting on shorts,whew! hard to believe I am worried about the cold soon,and sweating right now.
Gosh Brugie, that is so severe!
Good luck Root. I can't wait for spring again.
I hope, next year is going to have a nicer spring and summer!
Gosh, I just can't believe Summer's gone :( I can't even imagine where you're gonna put all those!!!
I'm trying to figure out where I'm going to put those of mine that I wanna keep...cuttings!
Root -- what's cooking in your bucket?
What's the propane for?
Root,
Do you plant yours in containers in the ground?
Terrie
Root, do you leave your Upees in the ground for the winter??? If so, I would think your brugs would make it too, if they are well mulched.
Lots of fun threads these days, and I'm just not finding time to reply to everything I'd like too, please forgive if you have posted me privately or even on a thread and I haven't replied, I just haven't had enough puter time. Sometimes, real life gets in the way of my flower gardens and dogs, ya know??!! DG is a delightful outlet, when there are difficult days...
Yep,Uppies come out,just Brugs come out first,the yard will be bare again.
I have a cooker just for my shovel,I use Consan20 in boiling water,and small cups of it for cutters.
I've had a long day and I'm just not sure what the heck you mean by your last sentence, do you mean that you disinfect your shovel/cutters, etc, after each brug is removed??? If so, we do that with dogs too...it's simple with the two I have now, but when there is a litter of, say, 10, it ain't so easy...
Just that I clean shovel and cutters as I go,kinda works nice,I always know where the shovel is.
Hi everybody my eyes were bigger than my stomach. some of my brugs grew so tall and others i just had to cull out i felt bad to throw them out am i the only one who has this problem Bob
OUCH just thinking of you all throwing out Brugs and here I am a newbie trying my best to get them started, I know it is too cold here to leave them out but I would fill my basement if I had to, there is nothing down there anyway, I keep looking at my little seedlings, then at the size of the ones you are tossing and wondering, 'HOW LONG WILL MINE TAKE'
Nope Bob,I think we all find ourselves in that boat at some time.
Kareoke,you wouldn't want these.I am culling ones that only had a bloom or two all year,and bad blooms.
And I thought that all kcks had to offer was Go Chicken go, povtivica and Krizmans ...who would have thought brugs too!
but root, a BLOOM IS A BLOOM *LOL*
I had one I grew from seed,took 2 years,it bloomed white,and the blooms browned on the first day.
Yuck -- compost that sucker! That's such a bummer. I have a few that haven't bloomed (one is 9+ feet tall in the ground), and I just don't think I'll have the room to hold them over. I'm only keeping the best ones and cuttings of a few named ones in case they don't come back in the Spring.
Maybe a dumb question, but wouldn't bleach or alcohol steralize the tools? Jeanette
Jnette, I think it would work for some things, but to be sure that there is no contamination from Stangelbrand, boiling is the best way. The thing with SB is that you can have it long before you realize it, so for that reason, we boil utensils.
