(assuming you mean after you retire...but then again why wait!?)<br /><br />DD, glad you approve (and that I can free your time up for more billable hours type of work). Right now both Cotyledon are snugged away in the basement. I will however put them in the ground next spring and hope for the best. Oh and yes...I grabbed one of their mail order catalogues, and interesting read! I'm hoping they'll want to join us on plant lust!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-89574501252517891922011-12-03T11:03:35.550-08:002011-12-03T11:03:35.550-08:00Great nursery visit report, and since you did it s...Great nursery visit report, and since you did it so well, I am off the hook to cover it! <br /><br />But even better you bought some goods...the Lechuguilla AKA Shindagger, that's a given. And I bet that Cotyledon will love a well-drained spot up in Cascadia. I have one in a pot, but I have to bring it in <20F to be safe. In ground, probably fine.<br /><br />They have mail order, too, in case you wish to add something like Devil's Claw to a well-draining spot in sun.....Desert Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952727692048782529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-36572697844737604862011-12-03T08:07:58.670-08:002011-12-03T08:07:58.670-08:00Thanks for sharing this, Loree.
