Arif ~ that is good to know that succulents are quite durable. It is also interesting to hear how different plants do in different climates, not just here but around the world. Thank you for sharing those experiences.
Greg ~ I appreciate the thought that each season will indeed be different and not to expect the same results. On the other hand, I have only put spare succulents in this bed. I have another of the tender succulents in the greenhouse. In this manner these can be sacrificial.
