YEP! what are you going to do with a newbie! We will answer your questions and convert you to a tomato fan. (grin) While it seems that many of the people on this forum grow heirlooms, we aren't going to toss you out if you grow hybrids. But most of us will think you are missing out on the fun and satisfaction of growing future generations of your tomatoes (and peppers and other heirlooms & open pollinated veggies and flowers) from seeds that you harvested and saved. Plus there is the fun of trading and collecting seeds (for the first year that may be buying, borrowing or saving from produce purchased at farmer's markets or other placed that carry NAMED heirloom's.) There are always some pushers growers that are willing to hook help you on heirlooms. Before too long you will be pushing sharing with other unsuspecting novices. SCENE 1: The local coffee shop. Tomato Fan: "Hey want to try some really amazing tomatoes? They are so good. You eat these and you will feel so good. Really, they are so delicious! And they have a history. I have some Brandywine and some Mortgage Lifter seeds. And I can get you some MariannaÂs Peace if you want them, they used to be the most expensive tomato seed in the world!" Tomato FanÂs table mate: "Well, I suppose I could try one, I do have a sunny spot in my yard that I could put it in. Tomato Fan: "Yeah, thatÂs great! That is the way I started, with just one heirloom." SCENE 2: A busy street corner just after last frost. Tomato Fan: (to man passing by) "Hi! Would you like to by an heirloom tomato plant?" Man: "No thanks, I donÂt have time or a place for a tomato plant. And if I did, IÂd want a new one, not an old tomato." Tomato Fan: (Laughs lightly) "Oh, heirlooms are old in their history, but the tomatoes are as fresh as can be when you pick them yourself and so much better than store bought. And they can be grown in biggish pots on your porch or patio, you just have to water them." Man: "Well, I donÂt knowÂ.." Tomato Fan: "Try one, youÂll love it! And it will help me out so I can buy some more seed envelopes and Â. Stuff." Man: "Ok, I will take one." Tomato Fan: (Giggles to herself and thinks "Another one hooked.") SCENE 3: Months later in a darkened alley. Tomato Fan: "Psssst! Hey buddy, yeah, you. Got any heirlooms ta sell or trade?" Unsuspecting bystander: "Get away from me you crazy gardener!" Bets

D. Crassula perforata E. I’m thinking is a Rebutia. Maybe Rebutia fabrisii, but it’s hard to tell because it’s been in too low of light so it’s etiolated. F. A Gasteria of some sort. G. A Crassula possibly Crassula rupestris H. Echeveria I. Sedum morganianum aka Donkey’s Tail Welcome to the hobby of growing succulents Maria. It is a very addictive hobby;). Already has been said, but your plants definitely need more light. Since they’ve been in low light you should slowly acclimate them to stronger light. The plants can burn if done to quickly. I’m assuming it’s winter where you are at so the sun isn't as strong. Keep that in mind. I have some questions for you so me or someone else can help when giving advice. Are you planning on keeping your plants inside? What is your hardiness zone or climate like?

i dont see anything other than the dirt on my screen ... have these been planted in the ground yet ... it better happen pretty soon based on what the size seems... if they have been indoors.. they will need to be hardened off to direct sun ... i am not aware of anyone growing them as houseplants.. and being full sun plants.. you will be hard pressed indoors ... outside.. they grow so fast ... that i have never had a significant bug issues .... ken

“At a whim,” I love it, you’re my kind of gardener! Wonderful choices by the way, I’m interested to see how your Princess Alexandra of Kent performs in bloom frequency and color. I go back and forth about getting her (all those petals and that pink just grab me) as I’ve heard mixed reviews here about her turning an awful salmony color for some. I have several DA’s and our temps here usually get to a high of 95 -105… at that point the new growth on all my roses that don’t get afternoon shade fry. I have to cut them back a bit after it passes. They do recover nicely, as if it never happened. I also have drip irrigation and use the Dig brand adjustable micro bubbler. I set it on the 6th notch when twisting to the left. My zone runs for 6 minutes on M, W, F and Sat. When the temp gets above 80-85 consistently, then I water twice a day and everyday but Sunday. I have very heavy clay soil but amend the holes I plant the roses in. I’ve never had a problem with any signs of over watering. In fact, I became so aggressive with the watering after a frightening experience when on a 90 degree day I looked out my window and my Falling in Love hybrid tea rose was bent over limp… canes laying in the ground! She survived and is thriving but I felt like a terrible rose mother. As long as the soil isn’t a constant sopping wet I feel like the roses can take the water… keep in mind that where I live it only rains in the winter… I get no rain for spring and summer so adjust your watering accordingly. Also, drip irrigation only waters a small portion of the roots, so it’s not like the entire bush is sitting in water. It still amazes me how plants survive with this method. Give it a go, trial and error in my opinion is the best way to learn what works for you, your plants and their environment. I’ve had plants that we’re supposed to perform fail and ones that should have failed excel. My supposed winter blooming hellebores mystify me and only bloom in the spring and summer… go figure. BTW, I agree… in no time you’ll be offering advice to others here. You got this!
