The strawberry baskets, grow bags and bed have their straw. Bare roots look awful two days after planting. I'm guessing two weeks before they look like strawberry plants.
I re-arranged two of the succulent bowls in the garage. I hope this summer I can put them out on our patios. The so-called Montage Bowl was getting overrun by the Senecio haworthii 'Cocoon Plant' and the Oscularia deltoides 'Ice Plant.' Meanwhile the newest bowl which just had a couple of boring no-names out of a Home Depot purchase, needed something.
I cut out half of the 'Cocoon Plant' and more than half of the 'Ice Plant' for transfer to the new bowl. The cutting from the Gainan's purchase, which I believe is a Graptopetalum paraguayense 'Ghost Plant,' was developing roots after just a week so it also went into the new bowl. The Montage Bowl received some of the no-names. Even though 'Cocoon' and 'Ice' were cut down substantially, they still are among the largest components. Even though the Sedum adolphii 'Shooting Stars' is obscured by what remains of 'Cocoon,' it occupies the most real estate in the bowl now. Someday I will give the Crassula perforata variegata 'String of Buttons' its own container. It may be the most spectacular thing in this bowl, but it is a bit cramped and you can barely see the three stacks in this snapshot. I didn't have any available pots when I got it, so it ended up here.
The no-name bowl is finally getting interesting. The new 'Ghost' is right in the middle.
The container I call the Bonsai bowl didn't have any changes. The Echeveria Purpusorum stalk is still riding high and seems to be chasing the grow light. I rotate it every few days to keep it from getting burned. As you can see there is snow out the window, and it is snowing now. It may finally start to warm up tomorrow and I can get the rest of the petunias into baskets.
