Ok, you all know I have had lots of problems raising Brugs, this is the latest, I used the CUTTER Yard and flower spray for bugs, true there are no bugs today BUT all my Brugs are drooping, I am "sweating' (literaly) it out that they recoup, it plainly says on the label it is for all trees, and flowers, and I sprayed in the evening when the sun had gone down, tonight I plan on spraying them all with plain water, I am sure I don't have to tell you how I feel.

BEWARE
That Backyard Cutter was good stuff too. Haven't used any insecticide sprays for 3 years or so but if mosquitoes had been bad this year, that would've crossed my mind.
Hopefully it's just a coincidence with this next batch of heat and humidity rolling in.
8ft. I hope you are right, my son says since this is the hottest summer, and highest humidity we have ever had it could be doing it. Hope by tomorrow it will prove us right.

Doris,
My heart aches for you!!! I'm sending positive thoughts.
Can't you go out and water one down now and see if it perks back up. My brugs that are in smaller pots and half day sun are having to be watered 2-3 times a day in this heat.

Doris, I really think it must have something to do with heat and humidity. DH uses Cutter about every 2 weeks and sometimes every weekend to get rid of mosquitoes. He sprays it everywhere and he has even sprayed it during the heat of the day without any problems to any plants. I hope everything recovers quickly for you.
Well happy to report I got too excited, too soon, I went out after dark last night and sprayed everything real good, and today the plants have perked up, some of the very small seedlings may not make it but at least the blooming ones are OK and NO bugs.
Doris
Good news Doris, what a roller coaster ride you've had. Just stay in your seat, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
Jackie
Thanks Jackie, this first year of Brugs has definately been a roller coaster, maybe next year I will be an "old hand" and not get so excited lol.
Doris
I know exactly how you feel, but even with all your trials and tribulations this year, the photos you've been posting are great!
You are definitely on the right track even if that track is filled with curves, and a few hair-pin turns, lol!
