I added the information to your original post Becky. Some really great photos there.

So have any of you come up with some new creative ways to use your semps for this new year of 2013?

Look at this cute wooden box with a fascinating and colorful collection of hardy succulents, mostly semps. http://www.squawmountaingarden...
Makes me wish the weather was warmer and not raining.

Well, my table garden is still in the planning stage though I have purchased the wood and hardware to construct saw horses. On Feb. 5 I will purchase some of those rectangular planters that I will work in between some of the boards to provide a few deeper areas. (on that day I can get my senior discount at Freddies, save 10%). Anyway, there will be some semps, some sedums, and a lot of other stuff planted on the table. Maybe a small area for a little crevice subsection for some alpines... I've had all winter to think about this!

Connie I can't wait to see that table this summer. Don't forget to come get plants for it.

I'll be documenting the construction with my camera. I already have a folder of photos just for this project. Somehow I don't expect it to look real great this first year but if it is ok with you I will eventually start a new thread documenting the construction and planting, sometime this summer.

I look forward to the new thread Connie. This will be fun and interesting.

I'm looking forward to seeing the process too Connie. I bet it's going to be awesome!

I don't want to describe what I am doing until I have photos to show for it.....
DO stay tuned.
DO NOT hold your breath.
I had it planned last winter but didn't get to it.....
DID manage to collect more semp varieties appropriate for it tho, thanks to trading here on ATP.
Thank you very much.

I'll be (im)patiently waiting!!!

Well don't get an ulcer over it....I can procrastinate for a long LONG time!
ANd also get caught up in other garden stuff once it gets rolling.

Regarding my project I agree with everything crittergarden said. Don't hold your breath waiting for our projects!

Not holding breath! But can't wait to see! So come on...get a going! Oh yeah and photos! Remember we're the photo hungry "mob"

OK I will just tease you all with this again, the book that gave me the ideas. I've posted this before but it is now buried deep in some obscure thread. Easier to repost and some of you may not have seen it:

Wow is that every pretty!! I love the variety of plants they used! Thanks Connie! inspiration indeed

Connie, I ordered that book after you posted it last time. It sure has some amazing ideas and pictures in it! Thanks for posting it.

Chris, that is one book I can't help drooling over I have quite a library of garden books, I just love books, especially ones with lots of pictures. Little and Lewis's "A Garden Gallery" is another favorite.

Chris, if you go to the back of the book to that last photograph it will give you a pretty good idea of what I have in mind... DROOL ALERT!!

Oh yes - it's so beautiful!!! I can't wait to see yours!

I like to two Debra Baldwin books too: Succulent Container Gardens and Designing with Succulents. I guess she's got another one coming out this spring sometime. I've got a ton of other garden books too.
