Other than succulents, lately I've only done a couple mono pots with tough shrubs like westringia, ozothamnus. Amazing how well shrubs hold up, even in western exposures, extreme heat, forgetting to water, etc. Makes me willing to "branch" out and try more shrubs for containers.Denisehttp://agrowingobsession.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-89100301555519919752013-09-05T16:05:38.925-07:002013-09-05T16:05:38.925-07:00But, the pots themselves are quite pretty!

What a rude awakening. Some of the succulents are hardy here (Agaves , Sedums, Semps, some Senecios) and others are borderlines. I move the small pots into the house and the others go into my pop-up greenhouse. kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-67958994691033551182013-09-04T19:25:08.299-07:002013-09-04T19:25:08.299-07:00lol Sue, apparently not! lol Sue, apparently not! kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-4554874147008297332013-09-04T19:24:11.873-07:002013-09-04T19:24:11.873-07:00What would life be like without them ?What would life be like without them ?kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-66720230353164998532013-09-04T19:23:52.212-07:002013-09-04T19:23:52.212-07:00I detect a positive mental attitude there Peter ! ...I detect a positive mental attitude there Peter !

My vegetable garden looks similarly bereft due to my inattention and I've begun tearing things out even though it's not yet time for cool season planting. Containers are difficult to manage in the summer heat under the best of circumstances without constant attention. That's why most of mine are planted with succulents.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-30082591858159248382013-09-04T08:44:10.499-07:002013-09-04T08:44:10.499-07:00Yikes...but, um, as the others have said your succ...Yikes...but, um, as the others have said your succulents look grand!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-17767384317199573162013-09-04T04:31:30.957-07:002013-09-04T04:31:30.957-07:00OMG!!!

They really don't do well this time of year with their caretakers taking trips. The "No Comment" almost had me spitting my coffee out onto my keyboard. Your succulents look dynamite though. Do you have to bring those inside the house or will just protecting them do it?
