valleylynn said:Hi Kate, so good to see you. Did you get a chance to go see Kevin while he was back in your area?
I love the way you put your semps to bed for the winter, that would be an excellent way to cut down on the spring 'Wake-up' work for those that have lots of falling leaves to take care of.
That would make a great article for next April's 'Sempervivum Week' here at ATP. Would you be interested in doing that?
You could take photos of the covered semps, beds in the winter with snow, and the grand unveiling in the spring. What month do you uncover your beds?
Because of where I live I don't have to put mine to bed like you do. I don't have the leaves to contend with, or the snow. I do cover my beds with bird netting in the winter to keep the voles, bunnies, squirrels and blue jays out. They can make quite a mess in the winter. I keep the netting up/off of the semps with a frame that is about 2 feet above the plants.
