Comments (149)Barb...both happy and sad....Happy he is moving forward with his life. Knowing he will go far as long as he stays focused on his studies, and learns to quit being so wasteful. Sad because he is moving on and we will be seeing very little of him in the next 4 years or so. We havent made any new life adventures yet. House needs some TLC. I suppose first we will get used to having a home with just us and the critters and go from there. Chell I used to be a dog and cat groomer. I loved it too. But my employer was a deedeedee. Never had the money to pay me each week and always "owed" me. And she never gave me my tips either.Then at the end of the year she reported more earnings for me than what I had really made.Fortunitly I kept records and proved my case and won, so make sure you don't let the same happen to you. I have kept my clippers, blades and accessories and still will do a neighbors dog or two once in awhile to keep my skills up.....but don't miss the hair stuck in places I did'nt know existed....lol. Love all the pictures the everyone post. Always enjoy seeing ya'lls babies. Regina...See MoreCacti/ succulent potting mix made from scratch
Comments (15)Kevin says I am much more daring :). Maybe so - but I do not have such rare succulents as he has. And even if I try to provide for them best possible, there is no way I am willing to be a 'slave', lol...just too many to keep them moving. They need to help little, too. I am sort of letting them deal with the elements as they would if growing in habitat. Sure, it is not the same ; but providing great drainage helps. Rain every 5 days or so would be perfect - but we can't order it, unfortunately. And definitely protect them from torrential rains. Perhaps instead of moving them, you could just cover them with plastic sheet. I built 'succulent shelves' where I can have rolled up plastic on top, and drop it down if needed. Sides are open for good air circulation. But laying big sheet or even tarp over them should be helpful too. As long as they are not left under for a long time, when rain stops and is sunny - I understand that may be more difficult if at work. I would move most, if not all, inside in case of hurricane... Btw, to prevent mix falling out of pot, use a mesh on the bottom. Cut pieces of window screen, or wall-taping mesh, or arts&crafts plastic mesh. I use window screen cut to size (a winter project...usually done when too cold to do anything outside and while watching TV - at least I feel I am doing something useful :) Your plants are showing some etiolation so I would say move them slowly into better sunlight....See More- 5 years ago
