Gardening with succulents.
I started collecting succulents three years ago. I have planted them outdoors on the ground, in containers and even indoors in teacups and teapots! I am not an expert in succulents. I cannot even remember their names and I don't care. I buy what appeals to me. They are easy to care for. Low maintenance indeed! Currently I have them in containers and it is a joy watching them grow and have chicks and rosettes. In this hot and dry summer my succulents continue to thrive because they need very little water. This year I added several Echeverrias in my collection. My friendly gardener at the greenhouse that I get them from cautioned me to protect them through the winter. Our winters are rainy and we do have some snow and cold spells occasionally. He who plants a garden plants happiness. If you want to be happy for a lifetime, plant a garden. – Chinese Proverb
