Our weather has improved a lot, been having chilly mornings in the low 40's and just mid 60's as highs. Got our first cold Fall rain last Nov 2, which was a good long downpour, I think managed half an inch..that is a lot by our standards here Hilarious! Hilarious! , and another round coming this coming Sun/Mon. Such a contrast in temps, we were still in the low 90's during Halloween.

Oh, okay, good to know about the salt aspect..hmm..it would be nice to experiment with..maybe I will have one guinea pig, so I know if it helps the semps. Though I did have an actual half oyster shell with some soil where I have a small Crassula ovata' Gollum' and Sedum morganianum growing on..so far still alive this past couple of years.

Hurray! Wahoo, baby semps in the making. Hurray! That is such a sweet photo Tarev. The webbing is lovely, and don't fall asleep to close to it, the arach types are know for going crazy in the offset production department.

Still none here, except the ones that started last fall. No on-slot of babies in the making. I don't think it will be much longer though.

Thanks Lynn! I was looking for my succulents with buds when I saw this one. I guess it loved our last couple of weeks of mid 70's to low 80's Smiling

I bet. It will be awhile before we reach the 70's. We are just beginning to have temps in the low 60's, and it is glorious.
