Excellent to see the results that Tarev has had. It amazes me that even those in the cocoa fiber liner are quite impervious to the freezing temps. A question please, at what temperature would you provide protection? Or do you have duplicates so you leave these out as a test?
Mark ~ are those sugar ants the Argentine ant? I am guessing they are not eating your plants for moisture but rather for food? Have you tried controlling them?
Lovely Aeoniums Bev. I, for one, am jealous of your ideal climate. lol
Hey Sheryl ~ there is no chance I gained weight for the holidays. Been running hard, trying to catch my tail. Last year, this succulent bed was new so I used frost cloth to protect it. It does not receive much moisture at all, being under the eaves. The only rain it would catch would be a blowing wind. But I have decided it needs to be toughened up so have left it the the mercy of the weather. Good decision as I've been out of state for a funeral and running at work when home. I know my husband would be no help.
We've had some nights in the low 20s, quite a few in the high 20s but I haven't taken photos lately. I'll try to do so this weekend.
Tell us what you have planted in ground in your lovely (at this time of year) home.
