Working with wood is very hard work. That is too bad about the tractor tire, I thought they were tougher than that. It was nice to get some help.L.

It's okay. I'm ready for the frost to kill what will die down. I'm ready to start planning next year's gardens.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-16488127403090670682009-10-18T00:22:40.370-04:002009-10-18T00:22:40.370-04:00The brugs will root in water.

They are very easy to root.<br /><br />If you can find it, a plant cover called 'Cloud Cover' is great for covering things like Brugmansia this time of year. It will make a 12 degree difference, and your tree could have finished the bloom. They carry it at Lowes here, but many of the nurseries carry it. I think it runs about $11.00 each.janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978979417557447666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-51661412975625094272009-10-17T19:14:10.063-04:002009-10-17T19:14:10.063-04:00LeSan, one of the blooms is already opening. :)

Aside from storing a couple day's wood in there, I'll be leaving most of it outside to "season".Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-31277504002396699552009-10-17T19:06:13.416-04:002009-10-17T19:06:13.416-04:00Termites!

I think I would make a lousy pioneer.<br />I hope that brug branch blooms for you. I can't imagine how heavenly that will smell in your house when it does. :-)LeSanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07939320676822416742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-38099176311147828532009-10-17T17:47:53.768-04:002009-10-17T17:47:53.768-04:00A friend of mine used to talk about them all the t...A friend of mine used to talk about them all the time.

Since I grew up in New England, I was certain my Southern gardening friend was kidding when she handed me a brug cutting a few years ago. Now I'm hooked on them !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001824862736319338noreply@blogger.com
