I just wanted to pop in and leave a message about my visit to the doctors office this weekend - ROOTDOCTOR's office that is ........ I had a great time and went home with a truckload of Brugs and etc. He talked fondly of so many of you whose names I see out here each day and it was so fun to talk Brugs....... His yard was amazing and I picked up so many tips, techniques and plants........
Thanks RootDoctor ..........

VS,I had such a good time,it was great to meet you and D. Next time bring a trailer behind that truck! I hope your babies are doing good,remember keep them in some shade and watered,I hope they take for you.
Great photo!!! That brug is huge, wow!!! What fun for you guys to meet, I wish I lived near some brug addicts...
WOW...you got sent home with trees!!! Great! Way to go!!
I am sad that the paradise he created must go! But sure glad you got to share in his bounty!
He will have his little paradies back next year right from the start Kell.
WOW!! What a fun trip!!
Knowing Bob, you didn't lack for anything when you were through packing up to go home. He is generous to a fault.
Wow. Wish I were close enough for a visit. It would be a treat just to see Root's backyard in person!
I wanna browze and smooze in roots paridise!!!!
LOL,CC,I wish you could,I wish you all could.
Monica sent a very nice lady over from work,she had never seen Brugs.
Another one bites the dust!LOL!

Maybe Monica has figured out how to keep part of the house open for living and not just plants. LOL! Tell her I say "Hi".
I keep forgetting to say,I was not doing all the giving,VS brought me a present,she could not have picked a better gift,I had this piece of drainage pipe all year,I was hoping to find a red bowling ball,and Voilà!
Thank you!!!
Cool. Just wondering though.....are you sure you sent her home with anything? It looks pretty tropical around there yet.
LOL,it is starting to look like Nam.lots of holes in the ground between the Nanas and Ears,looks like bombcraters.

I was just out in the garden and have to be careful where I walk due to all the holes. It's a good way to break a leg and I don't walk very well with two good ones.
LOL Shirely, don't go out after dark or you'll be like me. That's what made me fall, stepping in a half filled hole.
I don't Ada, unless my trip is totally on cement.
Okay, speaking of holes in the ground, I have a question. I've picked up on different threads that a lot of you plant things in the ground with the plants still in plastic containers. Can you tell me, Brugie or Root, more about that? Is the only benefit that you just have to clean off the dirt from the outside of the container before you move it in? Doesn't it hamper the roots from growing? Anything you can tell me about this will be appreciated. Thanks.
Terrie
I'll see if I can find Monika's thread about this and come back in a bit.
Here is one that should explain the how to grow in pots and hold over for the winter. http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/200213/

Terrie, if you have extra time, you should go check out many of the threads that Monika has started. There is a wealth of information in them and some awesome pictures.
You are so right Shirley! Im not kidding when I say I had a week vacation, and used it all to read Monika's threads and information, and try to absorb it! There is so much there, she is amazing!
Shirley, thanks so much. Just read the thread and it is very, very helpful! And when I have time, I will definitely check Monika's threads. Has her book been published in English yet? Also, is there a place on Dave's to save the threads you want to go back to for info?
Thats a good question,I would say you could put it in your watched thread list,then if it gets additional info,you are updated.
So, then if it is old and doesn't get updated for, say a year, you can still go to your home page and look at the threads you are watching and find it there, right?
Should work. Threads that I know I'll need to look at often, I save in my favorites in a folder titled Daves Garden Threads.
Don't want to sound too dumb, but does that mean you email the thread to your regular email address and then move it to a folder in your inbox?
Root & vs looks like you had a great time. I love having little get togethers with gardening friends.
I am using Internet Explorer. When I open a thread that I want to refer back to, I go to the top of my screen and it says Favorites. I click on that and then click on Add to Favorites. That takes me to a box where I can make a folder with the name of my choice and then click OK. Sometimes I change the name line so that it will be easier to remember what is in the thread.
Boy, I learn something new everyday on Dave's. Thanks again, Shirley.
Just saved that thread from Monika. That is so great!! I've been wondering about how to save these threads for a long time.

No problem. Glad I could help.
I must have missed something somewhere. Are you moving Root? What is this about your paradise going away??????
I know you had so much fun at Root's. He is indeed a generous person and also loves to share information.
What a nice surprize,VS and DD showed up this morn and rescued a couple more from the compost pile,I am finally starting to see some headway in the yard,not much but some,LOL!
