Actually that would be three new beds. I am in the process of gathering the materials. I hope to have them installed and ready for planting some time next month.
They will replace that big long wooden bed that was falling apart.

Hmmm, I think I need to move the semp, I see sedum with the euphorbia, but not the semp. Sad

What a great way to start my day, with two photos, one red and the other yellow. What beautiful coloring on them.
Thank you Wolfgang.

Jo Ann your rollers look great. Did snow come late in your part of the country this year?

Wow, I wondered about you be able to see your rollers a month ago. That is amazing.
I think Chris (goldfinch4) experienced similar weather this winter.

The rollers image is dated Sept 15.
We had accumulated 7 inches but there is just a dusting now.
I like this winter so far.

Romiley... wow! Lovey dubby And that's in January. BTW it seems to me that January is just dragging on forever. And yet Christmas seems like it was just last week.
I'm not the only one with Romiley on my list, but Wolfgang did mention that it would be in scarce supply. Crying
I see 'Cheese Duet' is looking great too. I put 'Cheese Fever' on my list, I wonder if it looks as good. Of course we realize that they don't stay that way all year. I'm also ordering 'Goldbug' from a local source, it seems to have a decent look for quite a bit of the year. Within the 'Cheese' series, it seems like 'Cheese Summer' holds its yellow for much more of the year.

Tim, January is a long month when you figure in post holiday doldrums. It's almost over and Feb is a short month so it really doesn't count. March meant green shoots and hellebore blooms.

Hey everybody. I've been hibernating and my plants have followed suit!
I'll get out tomorrow and get some photographs of my sempervivum. They dont all like this confused British weather we're having.
Frost didn't hit here in Romford UK till late December and its been having warm middays and freezing nights..
Rain and lots of confused daffodils that woke up thinking it was spring all around!

From what I've noticed some of the Semps have survived great but some species are dried all around the outside leaves. I will let you know tomorrow! Smiling
