I haven't been around much for a while now, and that'll probably continue for a little longer. I don't want to miss anyone, so I think it would be a good idea for someone else to take over announcing the birthdays.
Patrick, I'm sending the most up-to-date list to you, please pick someone else.
An update on our Brugs... out of the many there are 12 left. Most are beginning to look better and a few have even flowered recently. I've been chopping the bottoms off of my big pots and placing them in permanent locations. It hasn't flooded since I started this, but I'm pretty sure that it'll work to get them high enough to survive it while giving them plenty of space to grow. Haven't seen Fusarium or the other (unidentified?) thing we had going in a while now, but I'm still checking regularly. And we still have 15 seedlings not included in the 12 and 1 of them has a teeny bud... can hardly wait to see what it looks like.
Anyhoo, lots of stuff going on, hopefully I'll be back once we get the majority of it taken care of, but for now...
Welcome! to all who I've missed welcoming,
Happy Spring! to everyone, and may Summer be warm but not too hot!

Peace!
