Yes, I agree large blooms and small plants, except the Rosamond which is around 5 ft if proped up straight. That is what happens when you get an above the Y cutting, or a cutting that is an actual Y or even half a Y. Soooo...lol. If you want your brugs larger or to grow more roots just keep plucking off the buds and they will continue to grow upwards adding branches off the Y's, and may even send up more suckers and branches under that Y that will get taller giving you the taller/larger brug you want. These all had fairly good root systems despite thier small stature so I went for blooms now and will let them grow later lol. I have actually been picking blooms off some of the smaller cuttings and plants ...Ila Marie,Peanut (yeah I know that one stays little), MM, Strawberry Creme, etc. You can also take the sucker or branch below the Y , when it forms and root it and it will give you another taller plant (usually) before it Y's again. The CG you see in the photo above, is actually a rarity in that it is a bottom sucker off a large mother CG I lost this summer. There were 2 and they both Y'd under 2ft. One even had a tri-Y. Not sure 'Y' it did that either lol...I just call them my tabletop brugs for now :P I'd wait till it warms up a little before starting to push the fert. these all did this without much fert. at all, I think they just love the cooler weather here compared to the brug killing summer heat.

Marci, is that a trick question? I can't see any animal! The pictures are just magnificent. I have to agree with everyone else. The eel gives me the creeps. Maddie, so glad to see you again. I am happy that everyone is on the mend. OK, so Paul McCartney was amazing!!!! He is 67 years old and sang for 2 1/2 hours without taking a sip of water or a break. His band took a break and he pulled out the ukelele and kept on singing while they were gone. I loved Fenway Park. It was my first time there and I think my heart skipped a beat when I first walked in. It is beautiful. I am definitely going back for a ball game! Speaking of Lobsta! Tonight we are having some!!! Our first this summer. We are going out on the boat with some other couples with their boats and will raft up and have ourselves a feed! I am looking forward to a great evening. Suzanne, love the fox. You take the best pictures! My mom says she has one that has been coming around her house and she is concerned about her cat because she sleeps out on the deck all day in the sun. Dee I laughed right out loud with Marci's comment about the monkey looking in your office window. Being the animal lover that you are (NOT!), I would love to be a fly on the wall if that were actually to happen!! You know we love you, right? I should get off of the computer now. I only have about 1 million things to do today. Have a great weekend all! (((HUGS))) all around. oxBesh

How to use mismatched dining chairs... Of course, you can always distract the focus from the chairs - lol... If you want the chairs to look the same, you can always slipcover everything the same... (There are other examples of mismatches above, too.)

Hi Emagineer, Thanks again! You are super!! Hi Maria, Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying or know how to do that and really don't have the time/inclination/head space to learn that right now -- even if your idea is a good one. This isn't Pinterest, it's just our Gallery. Guess this grandmother is not thoroughly modern! You are always welcome to start your own threads if you like, or add photos to any thread of mine. Hi Sarah, Some of the photos -- especially the older (first) ones, have gone blank. That means the site that hosted them dumped them. We have no control over that, sorry. However, by far most of the photos should be visible to you. They're visible to me and to others so maybe it's your computer? Hard to say since I don't know what you're seeing. I do use a different hosting site than I used to and I think this one is better than the old one about not dumping pictures. Maybe reboot? Don't know what else to suggest.
