Strawberry Succulent Pot/New Blog Name

(picture from here)

combine succulent love + strawberry pot J's mom gave me = FUN

Oh goodness, I want to make one. How fun are these?

Honestly, this project is a little intimidating. Making one of these suckers involves a piece of pvc pipe buried in the center with holes in it for better water distribution to the individual plants.

Well, I have procured said pipe piece (peace pipe?), cut it, poked holes, and it is too long. ugh. We've no saw at home, blah blah blah.

I'm scared I will kill everything in the pot. Water too much, water not enough, too much light, not enough light....? I've killed more succulents than any other plants I've had. (but to be fair, succulents comprise the highest percentage of plants I've had.)

A few months ago, I bought some sedum cuttings from a charming etsy shop The Garden Sage, and they have grown wonderfully so far! They mail you these little cuttings in plastic baggies, plant them in some soil and water sparingly. I put mine in a few coffee mugs I got at an estate sale and they're doing great. Pictures soon.

**As for the new blog name: this is it, folks. Wanted something a little shorter and sweeter. And along with my kitty's profile, I think it's a good match. Plus, my mom really did say that to me all the time. Thanks, Marth, for the help with the banner!
