Some sort of Senecio, perhaps. Below is a link to a similar type. Here is a link that might be useful: Senecio

Thanks so much! I have a ton of garden books and all they tell you is the different style of cold frames and their uses not what I am looking for and I really don't want to waste my seeds. My plan is to have a spring, summer and fall crop...maybe winter but I don't know if I want to tend to a garden in a Ct winter just yet. Here is a list of my seeds I ordered: Spring/Fall Dill Elephant Parsley, Extra Curled Dwarf Parsley, Plain (Single Italian) Thyme, Common Cilantro or Coriander, Organic Kale Dwarf Blue Curled Vates Onion - Salad Red Three Peas in a Pod Collection Radish - Red Glow Beet Gourmet Duo Swiss Chard Bright Lights Mix Garlic Early Italian Maliner Kren Horseradish EZ Serve Lettuce Lettuce Vivian (Romaine) Spinach Baby's Leaf Hybrid Summer Basil Summerlong Basil Boxwood Runner Bean Scarlet (Pole) Pole Bean - Purple King Cucumber Sweet Burpless Hybrid Cucumber Straight Eight (Slicing) Sweet Pepper Golden Giant II Hybrid Sweet Pepper California Wonder Zucchini Burpee Hybrid Eggplant Fairy Tale Eggplant Purple Rain Hybrid Summer Squash Saffron Summer Squash Early Golden Crookneck Tomato Fourth of July Hybrid Tomato Burpee's Supersteak Hybrid (Giant) Tomato Big Mama Hybrid These are my flowers to start from seed for my deck pots and hanging baskets. The perennials will go in my flower beds. : Basil, Purple Ruffles Basil - Sweet Petra Dark Red, Organic High Scent Sweet Pea Thunbergia Alata Mix Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' Petunia Baby Duck Spreading Hybrid Marigold - Scarlet Starlet Gazania Daybreak Red Stripe Lavender - Provence Blue My cold frame is a hoop house made out of Pvc pipe covered with the thickest grade plastic. It has been up for almost 2 weeks over my raised bed warming the soil which is now no longer frozen and workable. Here are the things I am wondering: My plan is to direct sow all the spring plantings in half the bed. Then in the other half of the bed I was going to start the summer seeds in pots because I am assuming that that will keep them warmer to germinate I can even bag them inside the cold-frame which would bring up the temp until they sprout? I will also use this space to direct sow my flowers in their containers or should I start the flowers in pots and then transplant to their containers? I would really like to direct sow as much as possible. I plan on sowing the spring vegetables and flowers this weekend which would be 7 weeks from the 5/8 frost date. My thinking is that the spring plantings should be just fine but I am not sure when I should start the summer seeds. They are the intimidating bunch for me being so temper-mental and all. I think I will be cutting it really close for the tomatoes and maybe next year I will have to start them indoors. Should I start those indoors now until they germinate and then move them out to the cold-frame keeping them bagged or some sort of micro climate until they can be transplanted? Is my plan ok? I would love to hear what others think of my plan and offer advice on what will not work or what would work better. Thanks for taking the time to listen!

Could it be a Senecio?? I really like it..Toni

This greenhouse, SAS and Company, specializes in cacti, agaves, aloes, yuccas and other succulents, but has other plants too. A lot of us got much more interested in succulent plants after last years brutal summer. We found out about this place after the Manchaca swap and some pictures and information were just posted on the Texas Gallery. A link to the gallery is below. Look around at some of the other posts too. We have a lot of fun over there. If perhaps there are new people here who don't know about the gallery just look at the top center of the opening Texas Forum page and you'll see the link. Happy gardening!
