I have not been here much this year but things look better for next year.
Will have to see how the new cactus/succulent I added this spring weather the winter. The chick-hens and Opuntia I have had for years and they always bounce back. As stated previously this is still new to me so just stumbling along.
Planning to add so simple to grow annuals in the spring to add some color.

Weeds

It's been close to a week that I could not visit my plants fortunately succulents are ok without much attention, which is one reason I like them. Also had a some wet weather so the weeds grew quickly. It seems like I pull every weed then look back and see some I missed.

Mostly Succulents
Posted on Jun 23, 2016 7:20 PM

I never had been much of a gardener but these plants needed to be adopted so in attempting to care for them I discovered NGA and have received some good help and information and found it to be fun and plan to add some more plants.
here is what I have now

Outside:
I have bunch of Sempervivum a few Opuntia (Prickly Pears ) and some assorted other succulents that I started from cuttings not really sure what they are yet.

Inside a Rhipsalidopsis (easter cactus), Euphorbia and a Cereus jamacaru ?

To be continued
