Place those orders now kids that way she can work on them while its winter I did use industrial sharpy in paper which I taped to the spoon or fork and then covered this in plastic wrap - waay to obsessive Bev!! (meaning me!) to the funny farm!

Did I mention that the pic of my semp bed with the white rock in the middle shows only half of the bed?

obsessed for sure! But in a good way!

Did a little testing with my plant markers today. First, it would be no problem for the plant markers to be underground - they're tough and won't disintegrate.
And obviously they won't rust. You can write on them very easily with Sharpies. After I let the writing dry for an hour, I soaked in hot water for 8 hours then tried to rub it off. The writing didn't budge. However, I did scrub the writing with dish soap and hot water and it did smear a bit, but I doubt they would take that kind of abuse underground unless you've got some really dastardly earthworms. And yes, I have lots of them!

As if slugs weren't bad, there's dastardly earthworms?

Oh yeah, we have them here! Big fat juicy slimy monsters. They have parties in my semp beds all the time. And they're mean - they all get together and push my newly planted semps out of the ground. I don't want to make them too mad though because I'm afraid they'll push the garage off the foundation or something.

My NOIDS:

Very nice Spring! What's the stained glass item? Does your dwarf pomegranate die back to the ground each year?
Chris - yes be nice to the worms!!
Bev et al, when I first moved to Seattle and saw all these giant slugs here I was mortified - eew!! Now I kindof like them! (just not eating my plants!)

My friend makes those, a stepping stone. I use it for garden art. Over the years she has given me three of them, love them. I always think of her everytime I walk by them.
Yes, it dies back but, sure was pretty in fall.

Very cool!!

My pomegranate goes dormant during winter, but comes back every spring from all it's limbs. I had the most beautiful blooms most of the summer into fall.

Love the stepping stone and very healthy looking NOIDs.

Here is a pic of my new container of precious baby NOIDs! I love them all already!

Whoo Hoo lovely baby semps!!!!

Wow!!! They look super coolin their new Home. You are the Super Semp Mom they needed!!! Love them in their new pot!

I can't wait to get new Semps!! I ordered a bag of chicken grit today!

Serse, wow!! Don't those look good! How funny to see them in a new place
Jennifer, (goldfinch4 on here has a cubits store that I've ordered from, they'll ship in April - because of the weather, but they look great and are a good price!)
here is the link http://cubits.org/TheSemperviv... You may have already seen this but just in case
I helped my sister with doing some things today and in return she bought me more semps (Fred Meyer is still having their 2 for one sale) I got S.'Saturn' and a calcareum called 'Fire Dragon' How sweet was that!! She needed to do something, I spent all morning helping her

Hmmm, Greg, we are getting short changed at our FM! But I talked to the plant guy there and gave a good sales pitch on how popular they are and they should carry more!

I only had a choice of about 15 different plants (4 or 5 varieties) so yep they've been popular!! I went there to get 'Saturn' and was glad they had it...you know how you just buy 2, since its "2 for 1" and then you get home and it bugs you because you're like "dang, I should have bought one of those and one of those..." at least that's how it is for me!!! And my yard is filling up fast! My whole southern side of my building is going to be semps! Yes I'll take photos!

Awwww, serse they are so cute. I'm whispering so I don't startle them. They all look so healthy and happy.
