I must have great soil

Summerville, SC(Zone 8a)

I keep reading posts about epsom salts, messenger, mighty plant etc. All my in-the-ground brugs get until July, is water. Just plain water. I quit feeding and spraying them about 2 years ago in the Spring .. it seemed I was constantly fighting yellow leaves and bugs and they just weren't happy campers. Finally i decided to leave them alone. It was the best thing to do .. at least for mine during their rapid growth period. I have a few whitefly here and there .. but not enough to cause alarm and the leaves stay beautifully green. Come July I'll feed once a month, water daily with a soaker hose and spray for bugs on demand.

You must have the same soil and weather conditions as where Brugs are found in the wild. Lucky you!!!

We expect you to post wonderful pictures of the flowers when they bloom.

What a pretty sitting you have there, X. When they start to flower you will be be able to charge admission for those seats! LOL. I agree, here too in ground you really do not need much for them to take off big time.

I think a lot of what I use esp. on my potted ones, I probably do not need. But I am always on the hunt for that miracle boost that will cover them with blooms 24/7. And to tell the truth it is just fun to play Mommy to them all. Whether any of it really makes a difference, sometimes I wonder. LOL

Not only do you have the perfect relaxing spot but growing conditions as well.
Maybe it not just the soil but the Gardener! Well done
How fortunate you are soon too be. Can't wait to see them in bloom
