My Pot Garden

Turtle topiary planted with Hens and Chicks

Assorted sedum and cacti

It's my daughter Cathy's fault. She started it all with her indoor collection of sedum and cacti, which I fell for. She has more than a hundred potted plants.

She's given me cuttings from her plants and I've purchased several kinds of hens and chicks. I've hardly ever bothered with potted plants because of the maintenance involved but since I'm at home this summer I've enjoyed them.

I'll have to come up with some sort of indoor greenhouse to over winter them because our house is so close to the neighbors that most of the natural light, with few exceptions, is blocked.
