Oh Ingrid it is snowing....hard to imagine when here in California is still warm. Did you take a snow jacket with you?
Did you see those brugs flowering or was to late when you got there?
Take care of yourself and enjoy your stay.

Ingrid,

So sweet of you to post and let us know how you're doing. Would love to see pictures when you get a chance. What a change in weather from where you live now.

Enjoy your visit.

Terribly cold. But the brugs in the basement are blooming like crazy, even though their leaves are turning yellow. By the way, I don't think that these are any "special" brugs. They are all yellow singles. All the same.
I was really surprised to learn that my friend here is planning to cut the brugs (when?? don't know) and then she will stand the sticks in a bucket with a few inches of water. Imagine, she does not change the water all winter!!!!She says that in the springtime, there is always an abundance of roots, ready to be planted, or given away.

In other words, what I'm saying is that these brugs don't receive the tender loving care that "we" give ours, and I have read about overwintering of brugs, on this forum, and learned a lot.

Sorry, folks, there won't be any pictures of local plants. Everything is covered with a blanket of snow. Also, my camera is my cellphone which I can't use or charge here.

Lucy, Oktoberfest is during the last two weeks of September because the weather usually is warmer then. So, I missed that. But I'll still drink some Munich beer to your health!

Thanks for your replies to my original post. They made me happy.
Starting to miss the California sunshine.......

Ingrid.

Ingrid I rather have just the beer anyways. do not like crowds lol I had already remembered though that the October fest had been over already. Cause at one point I had ask myself why they call it Octoberfest when they have it in SEPTEMBER lol

Yupp Ingrid...there is no place like home lol

Maddy and I watched the Wizard of Oz last weekend lol

With changing the water...I am sure it has a l ot to do with the weather conditions in the place you keep the cuttings.
That is why I do not do water during winter...I just FORGET to change the water constantly. To much work too.

When will you come back to your Ca home?

Hugs

All I can say is brrrrrrr! Ingrid, today it's expected to be 91 here in the SFV. We had a couple of days of rain, and then it got hot again :-( I remember the beer from Europe -- it is soooo good!

Great to hear from you Ingrid! Even though it is cold enjoy your time in Germany! You can always get warm when you come back home! Hope you can check in again with us and give us an update!
Enjoy!
