I've been busy getting the house ready for a bunch of houseplants to come inside from sitting on the porch all summer. The temperatures at night are dipping into the low 50s. The others are being moved onto the porch, like this Hen and Chicks. Isn't she beautiful and her babies
Hens and chickens were one of my favorite garden plants when I was a child. My grandmother grew them in her flower garden, and gave some babies to my mother, and then she grew them in the back flower garden, for a time. I still remember being so disappointed when my mother decided not to grow them anymore.
@4meAndyou my grandmother too, she'd grew them in old pans, a cup, anything that would hold dirt. I have another variety out in the garden. I will transplant the ...puppies 😉.....ChipmunkErnie words.....into their own pots.
@HikingMan most of the 20 someodd plants I brought indoors were recently transplanted. So no bugs in the soil. I've had that problem before too, it terrible! Yup, Hen and Chicks are a perennial, they stay on porch. These big plants are the last to be brought in.
That is so cool! I've never had a hen and chicks! I too have a lot of plants needing to come in and have made room for them again. I have a spider plant that had babies. lol I have my greenhouse set up now and will be moving potted watermelon and cucumber plants into it. Happy plants gardening!! lol
@ShadowWorker I've never had a greenhouse that is a bit bigger and more permanent, until this year. I can't wait to start veggies and whatnot in it this coming year. :)
