I can grow African violets <g>
so, I am like you ... grow the hard ones, kill the easy ones, and I am sure that it is all about overwatering and allowing chickens to run loose.
Now, the hens and chicks garden is in a cow pasture and that is what it will be for a couple more years at least.
Now, I consider it a great year if I have ten more blades of grass than I had the year before!
So different from where I grew up - - Long Beach Washington is temperate temperature, sea level, grass grows (and lots of other things) at the blink of an eye ... to the high desert I now live in ...
but, life is about learning, and I am glad to be learning <g>.
Catch you later <wave>
thank you for the offer of sending me some of your "babies", but really! We do have Master Gardeners here ... LOL I just don't happen to be one!
