Ohhh, I'm far from 'As always, you're correct'.
That would have to be some one else.
S. 'Ogon' grows so easily and beautifully in the DC area. A neighbor of my DIL has the most beautiful patch growing in abandon under a tree. Prettiest thing to see.
Actually... the old plastic chair is the one my previously unkown succulent is sitting on at the beginning of this thread. You can see how ugly it is!
Just got in from scoping out wood and prices at Home Depot. I'll build a table but it will have to be very sturdy for its size and holding the weight of soil, plants and water. I think I'll do one 8 feet long. I have a policy of not buying anything I can't pick up myself (or fit in my truck) so 8 feet will be perfect. Maybe I'll make a little mountain in the middle for a few alpines .
Eight feet isn't really very big, but at least I can pick up the boards! I looked (and tested lifting) the 10, 12 and 16 footers. They were pretty heavy!
Now I'm thinking... maybe I will make a little volcano in the middle of it... a plain ol' mountain is boring. You know, rig up the baking powder and a hidden source of vinegar. I could entertain the neighbor kids, lol!
I just really can't wait to see your finished creation.
