WOW Elizabeth,
150 BRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!With BUDS. Awesome. No I don't feel sorry for myself anymore with ONLY 50 dug up and ONLY 10 in the ground.

I feel sorry for both of you. I only sunk about 10 brugs this year. All the others are in pots above ground. My problem is the other 500+ container plants that need to be trimmed back and moved into the greenhouse. I so hate this time of year. I'm hoping I have a few more weeks before frost and pray that the rain stops so that everything dries out. If I had to move plants now I'd end up with some serious fungal issues, even with the greenhouse fans going 24/7. I had posted that I finally saw the sun last week. Well that didn't last long. By that evening the rain returned and hasn't stopped. We've only had 1 day with no rain in the past 32 days and it's not like this is our normal "rainy season". That's in the early spring which happened to be unusually dry this year.

Wow Elizabeth, you've got a lot of digging going on! Hope you have some help.

My sympathy to ALL.. I started accessing yesterday.. Yanked the dead ones.LOL So not such an argues task this yr..Not sure to cry or be thankful...

I am so glad, I did have help, my DD came over to help me out, got to visit my GK's that was a plus, I thought this is great, then I got the news, the Building where I have my antique Booth, sold, so they are having an outside sale for all the vendors this week end Thank Goodness, by marking a couple things down I made $300.00 yesterday, which was great, it was things I just wanted to get rid of
so it was more about declutter than anything else
Karyn
I can't believe all those days of Rain, I know you'll be glad to have some Sunshine
Elizabeth

Yep, it that time of year.
I have been digging too, got most of the small ones potted
up, now just have to get the big ones cut back and dug, I
have been trying to wait on digging the bigger ones because
they all have lots of buds, about 50 to go.

Do any of you want to share any cuttings with me? I can pay postage pretty please? Thanks Marcie

after working all day, I sure am glad, I am retired that all I have to do is take care of my Brugs, that I will have all dug up by the 20th of October, what a day, I have to work tommorrow, then again Thursday, then my Booth, will be my Garage, I am so Glad I have a Double car Garage

Elizbeth

Yes, I too am watching the weather reports, hoping the warmth lasts a little longer here.
Only have 8 total, all in pots.
However I know that one day soon I will be joining you in the annual "Bringing in the babies".

This is my annual weekend for digging up mine to pop into pots and get ready to bring in. Actually I cat back 3 3 weeks ago to see if they would root ( the cuttings) and I could leave the older plants in the ground to rot. One has rooted well, the other 2 not so much so I guess I will bring all the bases in, 'just in case'. It sure is much less a task now that I am down to only 6 Brugs.

Digging here, 4 last week, have 2 to go. They're in my community garden plot and got "kissed" by frost, so some of their leaves are a bit sad, but the buds appear to be fine. The danger of frost is over for the week so I may leave them for another day after cleaning out tomato plants and such.

Dianne
I will have all mine dug up by the 20th, right now Pure Love has the fattest Bud, I have ever seen, I have about 8 with so many Buds, I sure hope the nice weather holds on for another week

Elizabeth

Need to see the flower once that fat bud opens, Elizabeth!

Oh I surely hope the weather holds, I want to see pictures too! :D

Hi Marcie,
Send me an email, I`ll be glad to send you some cuttings
for postage.

Karen

Karyn, hire a Hooney-Hooney man for $10 an hour, then stand there and watch his body glisten with sweat and his muscles ripple as he digs - you'll be just like a Desperate Housewife - video tape it and submit it to Ryan Sechrest - you might get your OWN SHOW!!! P.S. We want to watch the video,too!

LOL Kay now there`s an idea! LOL
