I planted out a few brugs this morning. I know the yellow is hardy here since I got cuttings from two down the street. The orange NoID may or may not be, but I'm going to chance it. They'll get nice morning light and some filtered hot afternoon shade with late evening sun again. They are in the perennial bed and should grow up and over the other plants.

They were hardened off in the hoophouse using a white sheet for a shade cloth. They've been exposed to full sun now for a week or more. I did trim a few leaves that were damaged by the sun. Our last frost should have been this past Wednesday night. Things like tomatoes will be planted out this weekend if it doesn't rain all night.

Tomorrow I hope to get the white ones in their beds in the back yard. They'll get full sun until about 1pm and shade after that. That bed dries out in the hottest part of the summer. I'm sure I will be watering like crazy.

I want to plant 1 white one near the front door, but I don't think it gets enough sunlight at all. No direct sun, only a couple hours of heavily shaded afternoon light.
