End of summer succulents... They sure grew a lot!

Wow, these things got huge!  If you recall, during the spring we bought a bunch of small succulents to plant around the house. These particular plants started out about the size of a coaster,or smaller, and are now about the size of a saucer. Some of the others ended up with some really cool colors and growth as well.  We will be bringing all of these guys into the house this winter in hopes that we can put them back out next spring without harming them.  They are so pretty and such low maintenance. It's nice to not have to worry about our plants dying when we leave for camping trips and vacations during the summer.

Succulent Arrangements

This year we decided to plant mostly succulents in our outdoor landscaping pots. They are very easy to care for, require very little maintenance and come in a large variety of shapes, sizes and colors. In addition we have Wandering Jews in our hanging baskets on the covered porch. And on the fence row and in a couple of other pots we have our begonias, which also are low maintenance, very pretty and explode over the summer months.

Garden Succulents

Tonight after dinner we stopped in at Home Depot to pick up some succulent plants for the flower pots around the house this spring. Succulents are all in the cactus family and are fairly maintenance free once planted.  We needed something that could handle the heat of the back porch and the lack of water while we are away on camping trips.  Jason picked out many different varieties and they are very pretty!  Hopefully they do well and meet our expected purpose.
