Some are surviving in the potato/nasturtium/basil/miniature pepper/lettuce windowbox planter on the windowsill, but mostly, my issue is the overwatering too. I plan on sticking them in a some unusual container and putting them at Mr. Yogato in the spring, Kenneth Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11619410362453458358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-29894989193771857262011-02-02T06:59:28.824-08:002011-02-02T06:59:28.824-08:00Ah, the brave little things...here's hoping th...Ah, the brave little things...here's hoping they get outside this spring and charm you even more.

Those little guys deserved their chance to live, I am glad it turned that way. They remind me of my "Hen-and-chicks", that I have by the house - require no care what so ever.Garden Hintshttp://www.gardenhints.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-1602100709711039492011-02-02T04:05:36.934-08:002011-02-02T04:05:36.934-08:00They aren't called Sempervivum ("live-for...They aren't called Sempervivum ("live-forever") for nothing.
