Thanks guys! With all your suggestions and my super-power googling I'm quite sure I've got an Echeveria pulvinata, some kind of opuntia, another agave americana, and a bulbine frutescens "Hallmark." Not bad for my first plant exchange! As for #3. the other echeveria, I think it might be "Briar Rose." Crenda, I'm still dazzled - I never even heard the work "opuntia" before this forum! Rina - yes, all except for the opuntia which came to me potted already. I have a 100% success rate rooting with water, plus I get to watch the roots take and grow, which makes me feel like I'm not such a failure in life after all. When the roots get pretty substantial I plant them in-ground.

"Growing your own" would be much less of a challenge if you also ate squirrels.... and maybe rabbits ;-) Got rid of our fruiting peaches, getting rid of the fruiting pear, and can't get tomatoes unless grown up against the house where the critters fear to tread. Once scoffed at a GW suggestion to grow things they don't like... and now find myself doing it. Short list so far of just bird peppers, chives, and other spices like rosemary that they don't bother much. They also don't strip our thorned wild blackberry, though still waiting to see how a thornless variety does. They don't show much interest in the prickly agarita either, but too soon to tell if they'll leave the fruits alone. Am thinking okra might also be okay.

Thanks! There's a stem or two back there but they're most definitely weeds, literally just two stalks of the same appearance. Chickweed is gone, just took care of that! Hope this helps with the possible Bracken, each leaf is it's own branch/grow directly from the ground: And that's about it for me guys, thank you so much for the help! Took me most of today clearing this stuff out.

I'll be there! When I lived on Long Island, I always wanted to open a vivarium where people could walk through, enjoy the flowers and butterflies and stop at the cafe and enjoy coffee, cake etc. I did a lot of research into it and the biggest problems were the short lifespans of the butterflies, the damage the kids and people do to them, and the long dreary winters. It just wasn't feasible on a large scale. Utility costs on LI made it prohibitive as well. A nursery / cafe on the other hand is a doable combination. I hope you get to live your dream, and it becomes very successful for you. I know you have the desire and work ethics to succeed, so once it's up and running, yes, I'll be a customer. So will a lot of others you've met along the way. Never lose sight of your dreams Brad. All the best always..... Bill

lazypup,
When we lived in MN, we had tons of chipmunks. I was at my local oil change place waiting for my car to be serviced one day and the mechanic came out and asked me if I fed birds. ????? I couldn't imagine why he'd ask that. He held up my air filter and it was packed with sunflower seeds. The chipmunks were saving them for a rainy day. :)
