Jackie,
I will explain the winter sowing when I see you Saturday. I will also try to get you pieces of six other delosperma I currently have. Names escape me right now. I've been potting up stuff for you all eve!

Oh I do wish a camera crew could follow the two of you around Sat.
What fun you are going to have.

Tabby yes I had to show off some of each of the babies you sent me including Lynn's. I cant get enough gardening right now. I makes me stay active that's for sure which is great!!!

Jennifer: I have my notebook all ready to go for Saturday! I will be ready to jot down any info you can give me. Im so super excited. I think I will definately have to try the delo's in my stump and in my semp bed!! WHOO HOO!!!

Jackie and Hubby, congrats on your new house! What a cute house! I love the bed! I love the floor, and your semps look so healthy!! Great job getting them through the spring!

Thank you Greg!!! It was a tough one but we all pulled through...except poor lemon babies We are getting lots more plants on Saturday from Jennifer too!!! I couldnt be more happy!

Yes, the 'Lemon Babies' can be really tough to get going. I am so relieved that mine seem to feel at home now.

Awww I know it was really sad to lose them. Im glad yours are doing good though. They were one of my favorites.

I have a question guys....at what point do you separate the chick offsets from the mama hen? Also, when you do take them off what is the correct way?

Twit once suggested that you take as much of the stolon as you can, when taking off the chick. So I've been doing that, and notice it does seem to make a difference. As far as when, I feel like that depends on the type of semp. You just have to experiment. I noticed that with rollers, they seem ready when they're smaller/younger. I also read on one of the threads that leaving the chicks attached helps them get a better start. Personally if I know I'm going to be around and able to water, shade or whatever else they may need, and I want to increase the amount of a certain type, I take the chick whenever I want to!

I usually wait until they have some roots growing into the ground. But even the ones that have the new little white air roots take off easily if provided with good soil and enough moisture.

Ok thanks guys!! I will have to get down there and really take a good look at what those chicks are up to on some of them. Some of them are getting pretty big and just want to make sure that I detach them so the mama hen will still produce more. I will take some close up pics this weekend to show you guys what's going on

Very pretty Jackie!! How cool to see your babies beginning to grow and thrive!!

Hey Jackie, glad to see you are back! Question regarding the tender succulents in your last few photos: Are they the ones that were originally in the window box at the previous home? Anyway, they are all looking pretty good in their new home!!

They sure are!!

Looking really good Jackie. Those semps are looking very happy and healthy. Way to go.

Waiting to hear what the plant is that Marilyn asked about.

Jackie, all your stuff is looking great!
