Glowing yellow, stunningly good on the eye, and beloved of bees, this sedum is one I had tried to use before as a groundcover. It was a big fail. The cuttings usually did not take. One day I accidentally discovered the secret of the mother pot.

What everyone else said Glen. My feelings exactly!

Too funny with the sedum wig.

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown

Replace your lawn with a garden!

Jennifer, love the picture! I went to a Halloween party once as the Jolly Green Giant - it was not dissimilar to your photo.

One person's junk is another person's treasure. Or in the gardening world, one person's invasive plant is another one's "hurry up and cover the whole darned slope"!

Yep, Jeanie, you got that right.

But what a great halloween costume that would make!!!

I love Gleni's planter but with costume season upon us I was thinking along the same lines. Still some good greenery here that could be utilized for a costume...Hmmmmm?
