Marilyn Thanks!! the name of that plant is the "kalanchoe" Im not sure which one but that seems to be what it is.

Bev, The last few photos are the ones from the window box. They are actually still in the window box that he made lol. Only thing different is that he drilled some holes in the bottom so we could have some good drainage :)

Greg: thank you I sure love them babies Lovey dubby

Lynn, Thanks! Im so happy that they all made the move!

I can sure tell you that ive never been more sore in my life! Thumbs down Ive been out just about every day working in the gardens. Veggies, Semp Bed, Flower Beds.....and that great thing about it is that my DH has helped me with it all. It's taken a lot at the new place to get the yard looking halfway decent. The whole yard front and back consisted of nothing but weeds. Weeds and pricker bushes up to my waist they were so high. Grumbling We had no grass in the back either and we have put down grass seed and hay too. I will be sure to post more pics soon. But boy oh boy I am so so sore. Thumbs up

Jennifer I will be sure to find a good forum to post your pictures in so you will be proud of me and your plants Hurray!

Ok...Im back....Im just about done with the yard now. It's hard staying on top of the semp bed but ive been doing it. I believe something was uprooting my semps and Ive had to keep putting them back down in the dirt.....not sure who what is t he culprit yet but I will find out lol. So I have been moved into our new home for 2 months now and we have been busy. I will start with the side yard. Full of weeds up to my waist. Well we just finished putting down the walkway last week and couldn't be more proud. As you can see along the side are pretty much a good 3/4 of the plants that Jennifer gave to me...I just love how they are growing and they are so beautiful.

Lots of work Jackie, and beautiful results. You sure had a lot to clean up before you were able to start planting. I'm sure your neighbors love looking at that beautiful view from across the street too. Very nice! Hurray! Hurray!
