Where do you plan on planting them Linda? You will get it done, don't worry. The raised beds work for me because of all the rain we get in the winter and spring. This year we have had particularly heavy rains. I am thankful for the raised beds. I do have to put shade cloth over them for about a month during the really hot weather (90 to 100+) because they are in full sun all day.

I am going to have to move some of them this spring so they have room to make offsets this year. Only in bed 2. The other beds were all put in at different times last year so they will be okay this year. I'm just about finished cleaning up a fifth bed (weeds and amending the soil). That is were some of my new ones will go in the next week or two (if it stops raining long enough). I have a 6th bed to clean out and add more soil to, that should take care of all the new ones from this years purchases and trades.

That will leave me with on bed that is 24' x 4'. I want to do a garden in that one using larger rocks and some other alpine type plants in with the sedum and semps.
