Hehe, I don't go out in them, but it's just standard around here for this time of year.

We get some too but since I am in urban area not so much

Nothing but sunshine here today. We did get some much needed rain yesterday.

Just got home from work, so on my way out to plants some new plants.

J. C. hope the tornadoes pass you by.

Marilyn, those semps will probably be enjoying the moisture.

Hope you are right.. the ones in pots still look pretty dead. I would like to keep the seedlings alive. Will work on that.

Thanks Lynn, I hope so too.
If we get through tomorrow and tomorrow night (which are going to be ugly) with no serious damage, then we should be in the clear for a bit.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers J.C.

Praying for safety for you and others in tonights bulls eye.

CDsSister said:Thanks Bev, Just thought I would toss it out there for a couple of days. I think most of us were probably all cute little kids. I bet a lot of moms gave their little girls a similar do, in the forties.

My favorite of yours is the Silhouette portrait Jim did of you. Did you ever show us a little you?

I have tried sedum, draba, Orostachys and others... was told the area is getting too much water from over spray by the HOA sprinkler system. Even the patio gets hit with it. The only plant that seems to love it is the ajuga. I guess I could just let it spread over everything. I am going to work with the sprinkler people, I am appealing to them to cut it back but.......... My next try is shhhhhh .... Hosta...

My little bitty semps will go into the only 2x2 spot of sun on the patio. Today I need to pot them up.
Wish me luck. I love my babies.

I put your quote here as to not get off subject in other person's thread about pot heads.

So Marilyn, it's not just lack of sun for your semps but there's a water problem too!

Well, let me admit to you (but to nobody else) my plunge into...shhhh. ...Shade Gardening:


It's not an all out effort but it's a start to companion with this that I have in a huge pot:


Good luck with the itty bitties on the sunny side of the patio.

I get a bit confused about which thread/forum I am in when some of the stuff comes up. Thanks for putting us back on track.

Love your avatar. Sooooo Cuuuuttttteee

Keep us posted on all the latest experiments . It is a whole different world for you I know. But it is all live and learn, yeah?

Bev, you do know that Ligularias get REALLY huge... slugs, snails love them too but that may not be a problem where you are now.

I think we need to talk to Kevin about breeding us some shade and water loving sempervivum.

YES YES YES ON THE SHADE especially!!!!

Wouldn't that be wonderful and add a bit of erratic freezing weather lovin' too.

Yes Connie...I have noticed that with each approaching Spring, the leaves come in bigger and bigger. The pot I have them in is about 21 inches in diameter so I think scale of pot to plant is still OK. I guess when the pot looks too small compared to the leaves, I will pull plant out.
