Hello Diane,
My brugs have done wonderful things. I now have twelve potted ones that I drag in and out of my basement every year. This past summer, my five largest ones grew to about 9 feet and bloomed their hearts out. We got a pretty early hard frost and I knew it was coming so I cut them all back, dug them and repotted them and put them in the basement. It was hard to cut off all the blooms and buds that they were still loaded with, but I've had them long enough now that I know they'll come back just as beautiful as last year. I have TONS of cuttings rooting in the basement this year. I just love these things! So will this be your first year growing them then? What ones do you have?
You're right about grandkids, they are the best! I wish I had a dozen or so more! Josh is my constant companion and I am his best buddy. He has a duplicate (miniature) of every garden tool I own and he loves to help me with gardening and outdoor "chores". We're both looking forward to spring! Although we do like to get out in this snow and play too!
Take care and I'll see you in the forum somewhere!
Glenda
