HOT NEW TREND

Succulents are the HOT TICKET this year in gardening. I think people are discovering that in these hot extremely dry summers we have been having, these plants do wonderfully.
The pots above were for sale at a recent garden expo-for around sixty dollars or so.You can buy all the plants for these pots for under twenty dollars at Wally World or Lowe's. So I put together a couple of pots for my deck.
Even with buying two new pots and plants I spent right at twenty dollars. Mine are not as thickly planted-and for a reason-these plants grow and multiply VERY quickly-they fill up a pot in no time.
I hope you will give succulents a try-they need very little water or care and can take full sun.I am joining Marty for Tabletop Tuesday at http://www.astrollthrulife.blogspot.com

How pretty! I've been wanting to plant some succulents this year because I think we're going to have a HOT summer. I might check Home Depot or Lowes...I've had enough of Wally World for awhile :)

I am such a fan of the colors and textures. I grow them in my yard and would love to grow them in my home, but I don't think I have enough direct sunlight indoors. Dang!
