You rascal,now I have to look.
SMG?

Sad news Youngs is closed

Yes, get on with it, Arif!...and good luck with germination of at least a good percentage of them? ( I remember your sad numbers with germinations in other past posts)

Jo Ann, where do you see that Young's is closed? They ship semps year round. I've received them in Jan & Feb. I don't see anything on their web site about being close? Please don't make me cry. I love that nursery.

I love Martha (North Hills Nursery) to pieces, she is such a wonderful person to do business with. I get new plants from her every year. Same with SMG. I have not tried Santa Rosa. Can you give us a link Jo Ann?

Arif, you have semp seeds? I can't wait to see the tiny babies come to life.

Yes I got the seeds somehow but these days a family of wild kittens seem to have taken over my garden and they are digging everything like mad. My spaniel by the way is a pacifist so I have to think of some way to get rid of this kitty problem. I and cats don't get along.
Regards,
Arif.

Lynn!!! All is well.There are tons of Youngs nurseries and garden center.When I googled I chose the wrong one.This is the sad link I read
http://www.youngsgardencenter....
I found the right one and its on my Garden Stores file.

How sad, thank you for the link Jo Ann. They sound like really nice people. Lots of nurseries have gone under due to the economy. Sure hope things pick up soon.

That is why I encourage every one to support our nurseries through purchases. Trading is so much fun, but if we don't buy from the nurseries, they too will be closing their doors.
But you already know that Jo Ann. : )

Jo Ann thanks for the link, its a very well written letter! And glad you found the right Young's (the semp/sedum ones!! )

Lynn...maybe I should buy that sedum, or those couple - or 3...and support my local (ish) nursery! (SMG) :lol:

I can't wait to get my order from SMG. I have everything ready for their arrival. Camera included.

And I just got this email from Cynda (Perennial Obsessions):
We hired a professional to help us build a better site. So we are in the process of doing that right now. We hope to have it up and running (with full inventory) by the middle of February.

I can't wait to see the new web site and inventory. I know she has been working at adding many new semps varieties. I can feel the excitement already, and I haven't even seen the new site yet.

Ooh I'll keep that in mind!

WELLLLLL I just found YOUNGS succulents and semps.
Fantastic selection.
I am definatly ordering from them.
DD and I want to do small gardens in gift baskets we get and dont want to throw away.The deeper ones get planted with annuals but the shallow ones would make a nice semp garden.

Is there a glossary of words current at ATP somewhere? What is a DH and DD?
Regards,
Arif.

Those are short word for Dear Husband and Dear Daughter.
SIL is Son in Law etc.
It usually refers to family members and friends.

Jo Ann, what do you use for sister-in-law?

Oh boy, I am looking forward to seeing which ones you get Jo Ann. And what a great way to re-purpose gift baskets. I look forward to seeing photos.

I guess its a unisex issue. The reader needs to pick up clues from the content of the post.

Got it. I am really new to the abbreviations, so was wondering what should be used. Thank you Jo Ann.

Young's has such a nice selection of the webby semps.

Here is what I have on my wishlist
sedum Ogon


Sedum Chocolate Drop



Sedum Cape Blanco


I'll look into Youngs semps later.

Jo Ann, nice! (I always think of DH as meaning dear heart! then its gender neutral haha!) I have 2 containers of Ogon waiting to get into something other than the 4 inch pot its in! Your photo inspired me to get something going for it!

Got it and I can also understand why there is no DS. DS's are normally a pain in the wrong place, DD's are more loving. A matter of sugar and spice versus puppy dogs tails. Keep a puppy's tail in a tube for a hundred years but it will still come out crooked.

i found this old light fixture at a thrift shop and thought it would make a great container for a small succulent centerpiece:

Ahhhh, yes Arif?

I have two wonderful DS. With straight tails.

Ooooh, Jo Ann, all are great choices. Sedum 'Limelight' is related to Ogon, and another great choice. Seems to be a bit hardier than Ogon.


I love Chocolate Drop and Cape Blanco. I have both.
