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!

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:
