    We go from flood levels to drought and we're not supposed to have a wet and dry season. lol I'm not even close to ready to move my plants and the brugs are the least of my problem. I'll begin freaking out in a few weeks. lol

    We have had quite a bit of rain in the last two months, and the brugs loved it. CB when you have to dig them up and pot them, debug and all that, it takes lots of time. My goal is to try and do @ least 10-15 everyday... so far I'm behind schedule... LOL I envy you being in Florida !

    Edna you are too organized. I leave it to the last minute and have to move about 400+ plants in 2 days. It's my annual frenzy. lol

    Edna, Normally At The End Of January Or February
    We Will Have 1 OR 2 Nights Of Temperature Dipping
    Around Low 27 Degrees And To Us We Think We Are
    Going To Freeze To Death.I Have Several Brugs In The
    Ground That Never Gets Remove And Stands About 12 Feet
    Tall. They Have Been Planted There For 5 Years So They
    Can Take Our Winter Like a Champ. Every Now And Then
    Some Of Them Will Get a Little Tip Burn But Nothing
    To Really Knock Them Down. The Ones I Have In Pots
    Gets Tuck In The Garage Back And Forth Everyday Because
    If It Gets In The Low 20 At Night The Next Day It's
    68 Degrees During The Day And That's Perfect Growing
    Condition For The Brugs During The Day.

    I am missing out on all the rain we have back home in TX. It has not rained a drop since I came here. Unless it did it at night lol. I don't do nights anymore rofl.

    Chocolate Brug and all Foridians...you have a beautiful State. BUT...the humidity is driving me up the wall. Even when I walk Jack at 4 am in the morning, it is there lol. But oh my gosh while outside...I just SWEAT where the water is just pouring down....so I guess it is getting small showers around the neighborhood lol

    Eddie, made my way UP to the thread rofl.
    What great news!!!Weather sure is unpredictable and now all we need is for CA to get rain also!!

    Eddie don't have any pictures of your happy happy suprised brugs?
