I now have the desert theme.all those.beautyful brugs.zone6 is in the deep freeze I have to buy perennials so it doesn't look so bare.it is so hard to make yourself stick to a plan.but this is new year.time to plan is now.at least while you are planning it takes your mind off all the beauty that the brugs bring to your yard and the fact that you can't order any brugs.noooo shipping till april. plantlover49

Boy time really got away with me. I'm been so busy with work and I just interviewed for a Masters Program at UT Southwest Medical here in Dallas, whew I'm exhausted! :) Here are the rest of my Brugs! :) I took these after work one day so they are a little darker than normal. Good idea, Eloise, about the markers. I had no idea that wasn't toxic to the plants. Thanks pkponder! Coleus was really easy to start from seed. I started a thread in the Container Garden forum, if you wanna check out the coleus progress! :) It'd be interesting to try different types of ferts but right now I'll stick with what I have on hand. I don't have access to any other fert than store bought ones... Yaslan, this is my first time growing from seed. I got a Wizard mix, which is a bunch of different types of coleus and I used pretty much the whole package and got lots of seedlings! Ashley

Hi Green Thumb Guy- I'm surprised that in z 5 Ont, you have brugs that large. Aren't your winters severe? Most all of mine died in the ground this past winter, even with mulch, and I'm in zone 7b. All of the brugs that I'm planting are an inch or less in diameter. They are rooted cuttings, but I'm sure they'll increase in size once they've grown. If we have another sub freezing winter like the last one, I don't know how to protect them so they'll survive. So I'll probably have to take tons of cuttngs like I did last fall, & start them in my basement. How do you protect yours through the winter? I need advice. Thanks for answering me so quickly, I have to get them in this week. kasha77

dave_in_nova lol about the BARE........but it was someone who sells these and knows what they are doing. I rather go for oxmyx's thought about a mix up in orders. but then the other persons order was just like mine except as a cutting lol. Funny what a day and some nice people can change. Now I can even lol about it. Barbra that is interresting for my future *shipping* plans ;-) So I am listening for the wonderful hints on this one hopefully coming

Margaret why are you messed up? All the beauty was just to much? I hope you are ok otherwise!!!! WWW I always look at Monika's place with awe. Since I have only grown them for the 2nd season now and just got so excited when I had my 1st seedling bloom this year. Can you imagine if you do hybridizing for SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG? All the wisdom about these angels? I can only say that when we do not find a answer here....I go to Monika with it at the german / american Fuchsienforum, she ALWAYS comes back in the shortest time possible for her and answers not only my questions, but everyones :-) Lucy
