These warmer days have made so many pots start germinating. I'm going to have "Skrocki-like" numbers of seedlings this year!
When we have an overcast day again I'll shoot pictures of some of the "torched" sempervivum that froze during our cold spell. we went from warm and wet to FROZEN like overnight so nothing was ready for it. Of course the worse damage was on the ones i wanted most to use as parents but maybe that's telling me something: don't use those ones as parents. In contrast, the ten I just named have come through the winter like troopers. Probably should stay on those liners now that i have such pretty ones PLUS great plant habit.
Have a good group up from 'Killer' X 'Fuego' that should be bright and pretty. If they're anything like my first group from 'Killer' crosses it will be hard to throw anything away.
Ok out to play in the dirt! Or should I say SOIL??
Nice tip on the boiling water. I have baked the soil in the oven too although that certainly stinks up the house. Bake it in disposal aluminum baking cans covered with aluminum foil at ~250F for ~1h. Don't do this if you have perlite in the mixes though as that melts into a mess.
