Using succulents in wall hangings, even a globe, is one of the articles in this months Better Homes & Gardens magazine. I love it. I can't wait until we can build our deck so that I can do some of the fun projects I have planned. I want to plant lots around my deck to help keep it cool and inviting. Now mind you I live in the mountain desert. Our new house is even hotter and drier than our old one. With few trees around I am gonna be planting a lot. But until I get the shade I want, succulents are becoming increasingly inviting. An added bonus, they don't take much water!
We planted a big pot full of succulents on our front porch. They even bloom! We only water them once a week and they are so pretty. I just knew I didn't have what it takes to keep pots full of flowery annuals alive in the summer so we went with succulents and I'm SO glad we did. I am planning a yard and garden post soon. I'll make sure to show my pot of succulents so you can see them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Trish- I would love to see your succulents as well as the rest of your garden! I didn't realize succulents bloomed. Yep, I will definitely have to do some.
