Hello yall,I'm back and yes i took my feeling better as a sign that i could or needed to walk out to my rock garden (I've set predicted finish date is about 2015-2016) Whistling I'm working on it Thumbs up We have went a long time without any sunshine and a lot of rain,I heard (i was falling asleep when i heard it) that we have had almost 15 inches of rain since Dec. Without the sunshine it causes a lot of problem for succulents just listening to all the talk of surgeries being scheduled,this has been a rough winter for most of our plants.I kind of work like a succulent,i need sunshine,people make vitamin D when they are in the sun & it has a huge role in keeping our muscle healthy. Crying

Greg,when your able to share i'm always willing to trade if i happen to have anything you may want.I may have to wait and trade some until my new plants are settled,jade rose has a lot of babies. Whistling

I did walk out to my bed the other day that i was feeling better & the sun came out Hurray! I noticed one of the semp 'mahogany' didn't look so well it's leaves were turning yellow & getting mushy and i did what Greg called the "tweezer" action,that day i could actually hold tweezers (mine have a bulky handle for easy holding).I figured since i felt better i would check out how things were draining and make sure my new moma & babies were doing ok in their new home.Ended up moving around some rock & adding some pea gravel. Whistling You can guess what happened the hubby caught me and well. Crying Sad

Today it looked better we have had maybe 3 sunny days this past week & it must have helped.My semp is showing a little leg,but the rosette is looking great in the middle.

Will more leave grow back on the bottom where it lost them up the stalk?
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
