Yes JaneH, we are expanding the brug garden!

John, I'm fighting those favorite tree rats! As fast as I can plant them they love to dig them up. I'll be cleaning them up and replanting all over the yard.

O.C has been LUCKY about that. Don't seem to bother them. BUT Lilium Bulbs, Tulips, Crocus, they have a field day with. I put out moth balls in my Lililum pots in the fall and they don't seem to bother the full grown one. UNLESS THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO mine tht didn't come up this spring ? Had never thought of THAT, Blamed it on the cold, long, wet spring.....

Glad to see they are being replanted, MERCY you'll have a beautikful yard....SHOW US PICTURES NEXT SPRING....

OC, we decided to add most of them to the front yard where there are lots of flowers already. I have lots of bulbs that the squirrels have taken from the front yard and put in the back. We found a glad in the middle of the circle brug garden this year and I know I didn't plant it out there. I think I'll toss this one in John's box this next week, don't tell him. :wink:

Flowers do have a habit of coming up where they weren't planted. O.C. has STILL not gotten used to that, but givern timer, I believe he will........John
