Sis I've had mine for 4 years with no buds....my fault...
Their like spoiled children..if you feed them good... you'll get good results..
When their mature enough they'll start to Y and once they do the buds soon follow...
As for the sun thing one of the others will have to answer that..
Do you know the names of them??
Cause sometimes I think that matters too...
She's About To.............#32
Phyllis, I am sure they have "Y'd. There is a place where they have branched. Is that a Y? I cannot remember the name, unfortunately. I have fed them, but maybe I should do more. I gave them Fish Emulsion. Hey, maybe they don't like it. I tried it and couldn't stomach it :-P
Phyllis, 4 years? 4 years? yowzers.

I'll decide by spring whether I will put brugs in ground. So used to having everything in pots and now have my own land to work with. I think I might wait for another week on my cuttings and hope I don't lose any more.
I had an idea what a hoop house was, but now I know for sure. There is a rain cloud hovering over us and sure hope we get some of the much needed stuff.
Hi Sis_E welcome to brugland. This is my first experience with them and always afraid I'm doing something wrong. First time rooting cuttings and what a great experience. I get so excited when I see new life forming.
Pegi
Well, I gotta say....I put 5 brand newly rooted cuttings in the ground June 30, in un-amended soil, and never gave any of them a drop of anything besides water. Didn't know any better, and all 5 of them bloomed repeatedly without fertilizer...Maybe not as profusely as they could have, but they bloomed.
You tried it....yeah right... I hear it smells bad...Oh they like it but they also like Miracle Grow and the receipe..Epsoms salt etc...
Karen can post that again and you'd be surprised whats in it....LOL
Thank you, Samigal. I am new to Brugs too. My BIG one is so nice and I am anxiously awaiting it's first bud. But, since fall is here, maybe it's too late?
Dark, I am happy for you! Profusely blooming? Geeeze, I want what you have! :D
'night all. Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I shall pop in now and then...more often than not....6 to one, half dozen to the other. Good night and good luck.

Hey Beck were'd you go??
Ahhhhhhhhh Phyllis and Donnita, just could not post, things should quiet down SOOOOONNN so I hope!
Yeah where is Tm MAMA HEN
Clemmie do you want to be on the ornament exchange?
nks Phyllis,
Fever is still there. But at least now I know what I'm 'fighting' Have a Kidney infection that went into a blood infection. So I am now on 2 antibiotics (guess they work together?) to fight the bacterial blood infection and the kidney infection.
and mom is off to her retreat now... I tried to fit in her suitcase, but these meds make me swell up like a big ole balloon.... so no room for me in there :o( maybe next year ....
^o^~~~> Hope you's had a good ole time even though you've been under the weather....
Mom time is always special....
DG has been acting up for me tonight too...Thought it was my ISP
Maybe too many people on...
Maybe thats why Beck hasn't posted lately...
Everyone shows up when I'm ready for zzzz's...
Hey, Hi AnjL! Girl, you need some R&R.. no wonder you didn't feel good! Oh! Betty! I hope my bud looks like that! Love that pink! It's......HOT! ;) It sure is taking a long time.. What excitement tonight! I missed SisE.. love that cute son of yours... Someone wondered when to pot up their rootlings... I like to wait till there's lots and lots of roots, but as they get more roots you'll need to water a little more.. Tammie, I tried some of the Anti Stress polymer coating last year... it was okay, but I still had aphids down there.. I added eucalyptus oil to the recipe to attempt to deter them and this year used a tree and shrub insect repellant. Karen, sorry bout the teeny worms.. I think we're all a TM at some time or another.. wouldn't want our thread to go stagnant ;) Donna, Becky, Clemen, HonorableTMPhyllis..everyone- sweet brug dreams. Debra missed your smiling face tonight... So it's that time Hotties.. Nightie night.
Karen, problem is I have lost interest on holidays, specially Christmas, to tell you the truth i did not even buy a pumpkin this year, so unusual for me. the girls are older and Christmas ornaments, oh well, we have way to many and our Christmas tree keeps getting smaller and smaller. We try to buy real ones with roots so we can plant them outside. So I'll pass on the ornament, i would contribute to a small gift though?? just an idea!
LOL Phyllis, I got bounced off 3 times tonight, my internet is fine but I had problems with DG.
Nighty nite hotties time for Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's
That's fine Clemmie hon, no explanation needed. I was just trying to remember if you had wanted to or not. Nite nite Donna and Bonnie and everyone else going sleepy bye!
1Anjl, that was me, asking for the brug. I sent you a d mail.
Good night all
Sis E, welcome to the insane world of the brug addiction!
LK
Thanks Linda Kay.
I'll be mailing them tomorrow or Saturday :o)
Sounds good, Thanks.
LK
Good nite everyone. sleep well.
HEY anjl!!... glad you finally got back home.. I thought Phyllis was going to go nuts with no one to help her be a TM with..LOL... .. just remember where HOME is and don't get lost again!!
Clemmie.. wha??? NO Christmas ornaments from the Hotties??... Don't you know I HAVE to have one from you?? Have I laid the guilt trip on good enough... or do I need to keep going??..lol
Donna.. poor you.. I haven't been kicked off.. just been on the phone..
Betty... oh my.. that is a gorgeous bloom... now I have to add that one to my list!!
Bonnie... sweet dreams girlie..
I will be MIA most all day tomorrow... the guys finished Momma's roof, but Lyle isn't happy with the job, so they are coming tomorrow to finish it the right way..I hope...lol... anyway.. I am taking the last injections, etc. tomorrow and I'll be MIA most all day. My cousin is taking me, and IF I feel ok.. we'll be hitting as many yard sales we can see...lol.. TTY when I get home
BTW.. PEG.. Ethel says HI!!.. where are you at anyway??
Nite girlies!!
I am with Clemmie on the ornaments. I am not going to see my DGD's as my ex-son is cruel. So I won't even bother with a tree. Plus money is really tight.
Santa won;t visit my house because my son told him I am not worth the trouble. I am very very bad. :o( He is hurting the girls by doing this and as they get older they will resent him for what he is doing.
OK enough of that. The tears are starting to flow. I love those little angels and I have been a huge part all their life till now. And I am innocent but not in his eyes. Their birthdays just passed and I missed out on that too. But in about 10 yrs they will be back. I know they will. My heart breaks everyday because I see something I want them to see or a thought crossed my mind and I think of them. Oh well enough of that. It is not going to change it. lol
My other friendly neighbor moved today to Chicago. Now I am alone here at home too. I will be OK. I am staying as busy as I can.
finishing up on hurricane clean up. Have to cut up a bunch of limbs for the fire place and mow and bag it. That will be a job. But I can do it. Alittle at a time.
Love all of you H&H's.
Hugs and kisses
Sandy
I have to. lol
I wanted to say anjl has a Great co-op going. I got some gloves last time and I love them. Sure beats the surgical ones at walmart. If you haven't yet go take a look. most 2,70 a pair. They fit to where you can pick ip a dime wearing them.
see ya
The antistress 2000 did not work really well on aphids.. but just a tiny bit of joy dish soap in water spray does aphids in very quickly! That is what I use for aphids all year! Works great! They turn back in no time. My parents orelanders turn yellow with aphids every year. I fill the 2 gallon sprayer with a Joy mix and go to town spraying ... you should see the soapy foam after it rains sometimes! I do get a little carried away if the aphids are really really heavy.. like icky heavy on the plants.. they don't get that bad on mine because I carry a little spray bottle of it with me when I walk my yard and spritz any tips I find aphids on before they every really get a good start. I can spot those little suckers when there are just a few on a tip! I HATE APHIDS WORSE THAN ANYTHING.. don't know why.
Morning Tammie.....
Are you doing the coffee or am I??
I drink instant...But I can put a pot on....compliments of all the motels i've been in...
And I can go all out with a breakfast buffet of Homemade Pancakes/no mixes here....sausage..bacon..toast and eggs..sunnyside up or scrambled
your choice...oh and I forgot my homemade blackberry jam...and i'll put some fruit out too..
Dig In....
Morning H&H’s
Phyllis, Yes on the good old fashion country breakfast, yum. I haven’t had one like that in a looooooooooooong time. Coffee is great too thanks for making it.
Beck I don’t think you are suppose to go running around after those shots. I’m pretty sure the requirement is no driving and 24 hours bed rest. You best be careful, ya hear.
I’ll be another MIA for most of the day, going to run some errands then visit with my DD and DGS, and hold out there until my DGD comes home from school. I’ll be here awhile yet though. We are supposed to have great weather today; highs should be in the 60’s lows for the kiddies tonight in the upper 40’s. I hope we get more of this nice stuff next week so I can finish the outside.
For all you working H & H’s TGIF, the weekend is only a day away.
Good morning! Sounds great Phyllis! I'll take some of everything! ♪ ♫ ♪ Happy Friday Everyone! ♪ ♫ ♪ Hope this is a wonderful day. I will be out most of the day also, gotta make my weekly run "to town" and do a little shopping. Enjoy the day H and H and don't do anything I wouldn't do!
Phyllis! Ooooh, you drink INNOCENT" coffee? Not me!! I have to have battery acid!
Good morning All. Took some time to catch up, again! Hope everyone is feeling better. Good luck on the new job Exotic Kim! Welcome Sis_E! Come in and enjoy our antics, even TMs (Hugs). Karen, you sound better this morning, hope you feel better! Ethel and Beck, have fun at the sales!
Okay, we got the news last night. Massive layoffs...right now, we think Keith will still be traveling, but how much and how long has yet to be determined. So, we may be in for another slow construction winter. We have done this before, and have saved back just for this, but for a while I may be the only breadwinner around here. So, I'm really going to be busy with work. So, please remember, I will check in when I can and still love ya'll to pieces, but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.
Maybe I can get some "honey-dos" done, like finishing my kitchen!! We tore out last November and it is still unfinished. And I'm still cooking in there... Guess if I'd stop cooking it would get finished faster maybe?? LOL!
Okay, lunch is over, back to work. Everybody have a great Friday and may all of your trick or treaters be cuties! Peg
Halloween Funny, hahaha!
Edited to say: Peg, thanks for checking in and letting us know what's going on. I hope and pray that things go smoothly for you and Keith. And if he does get laid off for awhile you'll get that kitchen finished, haha! Have a great day hon!
