Very nice Ryan! Wishing you good luck at your sale!

Love them Ryan. Let us know how it goes.

Super container plantings, Ryan! You're inspiring me to put some together too. I certainly have enough different succulents to make them interesting.

Looks good Ryan!

Those container arrangements look awesome!

Hey Ryan! Glad to see your thread! I am about 1.5 hours south of Sacramento!

Love your collection! I also grow some Semps here, but not a lot, I had them get toasted during summer, or bolting like crazy when temps soar and I am learning now to give them better shade. This past winter was a bit dicey but otherwise awesome for them especially the long cool down of early Spring.

Sorry to hear about your Adenium. Do try again! That is one I can grow here, just got to hide it during our winter season, as it goes to sleep.

The temperature heat up has started...time to get ready to provide much needed part shade to the semps.

Yep, this week is forecasted to be in and around 90 all week here out with my shade cloth for another five or six months!

Thanks for everyone's feedback on my containers! I can't wait for the sake which will happen Mother's Day weekend. It's going to be kind of an opening for me selling succulent arrangements at my farm stand on the weekends.
It was SO hot today, but I'm happy to say it's suppose to cool back off this weekend.
I feel like a Debra Lee Baldwin in training
Maybe one day my containers will make it into a coffee table book.
I still have many more to make between now and the opening sale. I'm not a huge fan of sedums but I have some growing around the property I may harvest and use in some of my other containers. I really wish my senecio string of pearls and string of bananas starts filling in its "mother" pot so I can divide it.

About Adeniums, I'm hoping to relocate down toward LA hopefully this winter. If/ when that happens I will definitely try growing Adeniums again.

There's a couple of us that have that wish too. It will just be a matter of time...

Let me know if anyone wants to collaborate on something!

I have some updates pictures of my plant collection. Many of them you may (or may not) recognize from older posts. They've grown so much!

looking good Karen!

They look great Ryan!! Thanks for posting pics!

Karen?

Great pictures! What is that top dressing you are using? I love the look of it. Much nicer looking than the plain gravel I've always used. I also see we have the exact same plant rack! makes it super easy to drape bird netting and shade cloth onto!

Great photos Ryan. Nice way to end my day.

Oops! Sorry Ryan! Plant manager Karen too. at least y'all get my name right

I guess there's an advantage to having your website moniker also be your real name, Patty!
Why didn't I think of that??????? I've gotten mail wondering what the first part of my moniker (webesemps) meant...like do I have a website of semps? .. or am I referring to the arachnoideum class of semps?

I wondered about that myself my interpretation was "We Be Semps."

You got it right on the nose, Paul. It's a take on Toys R Us
