Moving because of your job? Or retiring? Good luck with the move, and be sure to show us lots of pictures once you get settled.

I'm still waiting for them to sprout. A couple weeks ago a whole bunch of sprouts happened in their container and I was beyond happy, until I realized it was chickweed. Shoot! But I'm still taking care of the pot and I've plucked out all the chickweed. Yesterday I noticed two new sprouts. They have a different look to them, so I know they're not chickweed. Hopefully it's going to be my rainbow trees! Fingers crossed.


Did you ever have any luck with the rainbow trees? IIRC I had seedlings but they got hit by full sun and didn't make it.

If I'm remembering correctly, the seeds I received were microscopic and difficult to plant. Nothing sprouted. It's a beautiful tree and I'd love to try again.

I wouldn’t count audio books in my 24 for the year just because I need to learn to focus and read again which is why I made it a goal, but I would definitely do audio books because of all the driving. I’m not sure on podcast types, I’m still trying to familiarize myself with them and what types there are and stuff.

Really, anything/anyone you've heard on the radio probably has a podcast. I have an earbud in for 12+ hours most days, so I listen to a lot of podcasts.

Hardcore History (comprehensive, episodes 3+ hours long)
We're Alive (fiction, zombie, 150+ hours total)
Casefile (true crime)
True Crime Obsessed (comedy/commentary)
Slowburn (1st season Watergate, 2nd season Clinton Impeachment)

I think I'm gonna give it a go again. If i don't get everything going in Spring, I put off my ambitions for the following year so I need to get going.

I just looked them up online again and everyone sells seeds. I did find one place that had small trees in 6" pots for pretty cheap, but they were sold out. I'm not going to try seeds again. I'm going to try to find one already sprouted.

No, those that are close to the ground aren't the ones Steven was talking about. The cuttings he got from me were the larger succulent right in front of the white planter pots. And it grows upright, like a bush.

I have a very large collection of cacti and succulents. Here's what is growing in the ground:

The two big opuntia fell over last winter because of the wet ground and the roots couldn't hold the heavy plants.

And here's where all the potted cacti and succulents spend the winter:

Uh-oh, Yvonne... If I show those pictures of succulents to my significant other, we might have to plan a visit to California! :D

I’m so envious of your succulents

@Jacqui - i just watched the news showing all the cancelled flights and terrible snow conditions on the highways and it got me wondering about Jeff. Hopefully he's in the west?
