I agree with goldfinch. : )
I buy the chicken grit in 50 lb bags from out local farm & feed store.

After being gone from home for a month, I had an awesome day yesterday weeding the largest semp bed and admiring the beautiful colors each variety is showing right now.
Affine, such a wonderful tiny semp.


All weed free again. One down 5 more to go. Then I get to start on the perennial borders. Sticking tongue out


I know this one looks big, but it is a very diminutive semp of maybe 1 inch across the mature rosette. I love the color of it in the spring time.
S. comolii


Othello has impressive size and color. Please excuse the marks on the leaves, we had quite a hail storm here, they left their calling cards. Whistling


How about something soft and velvety feeling? Here is Pacific Magic Night. I just love this one.


The beautiful form and color of Titania.


Can't forget the little rollers: Jovibarba f/Col De Turini. The tiny offsets break away from the rosette and roll away, rooting wherever they land.


Both goldfinch and I have large collections for you to choose from. Come on, buy those tickets, put those acorns to use. Hurray! Hurray!
