Does anyone else have succulents? I'm trying to figure out the best soil mixture for them, or if regular old potting soil is okay.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
On Tuesday it's supposed to be 95 here. On Friday the high will be 65. I don't think I'll mind the heat,, knowing that Fall weather will soon be here.

I wonder if I could put vintage tart pans on stands.
Yes. Hey, look at this! [link]
So, large wooden spools, E-600 glue, some paint: ta-da! "Shabby chic".

I have all those things.
Amy, you want a soil that drains really well. You can add perlite or vermiculite to regular potting soil or buy the cactus potting soil.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
On Wednesday, it will hit 90° in NYC, but I won’t care, because I’ll be in NOLA, where it will be… 90°.

Amy, if you can cut the potting soil with vermiculite or some of the finer orchid potting mixes, that would be ideal, but they should also be fine with regular ole miracle grow potting media.

Cool. Thanks, Ginger and Julie. I have one that's actually thriving, which is a whole new thing for me, The Plant Killer, so I'm thinking it might need to be repotted soon.
I really want to get the one called String of Pearls, too. So pretty.
