Hi Taco Truck, It looks like you have Euphorbia tirucalli in the strip - IMO, that's a liability as it exudes sap that's a chemical irritant/burning element. It's a plant that you don't want around moving people so much, but if everyone's aware of it, it's an awesome plant for the landscape. I love your idea about the strip, and it would be great to have that as an open garden, but IMO, that's the best place to have softer plants, or at least ones that won't cause too much pain. LzdDr, Again, great pictures of the progression - wow, to plant out C. juttae and others like that and watch them explode in growth!

Eryn - Aloe plants (and almost all succulents) will indeed change colors due to light levels. Some will turn quite red, others a bronzy brown color. Many find these color changes desirable. It is not necessarily a sign of trouble. I find that nearly every time I repot or replant an Aloe vera plant, it will turn brownish for a while. This is probably due to stress. This Aloe vera plant is quite green in this picture - This is the same plant, looking quite bronze colored, or suntanned. If the plant is otherwise healthy, don't sweat the color change. It may be a good sign that your plant is getting enough good light. ;-)
