They are so cute. What a great creative idea to use the prairie points.

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!

Yes, we sure are a lot alike in growing the hard ones and killing the easy ones. DM wd throw out her ferns every year; not me, mine are fed with wonderful vitamins and are about 4 ft. long! Most people have trble growing ferns and African violets. Now that you're in high desert area, this works well for succulents! DM had the hens and chicks growing 3-4 deep on top of ea other. Don't know if I'll ever get to that point w/them. LOL, huh. :-) :roll: :roll: :roll:

I'm really rolling now!! hahaha! Thank you Diana! I know everyone can't wait to see the whole 9 yards (!!!) 8) and they can't wait to try this method out! It is quite cumbersome making them, but, what the heck, it's to bring joy to others! :lol: :lol:
