GRAY GARDENS

 I combat "gardening withdrawal" by putting little succulents in my southeast facing kitchen window. They like the light and I like the green! Above from left to right I have a variegated crassula (Jade plant), a sedum and a Kalanchoe. 
This is a miniature ice plant that has hot pink blooms occasionally. I water these only once a week. I've been advised to water them thoroughly so that water drips out the bottom of their little plastic pots. That way mineral salts from the chlorinated don't build up in the potting mix. All the plastic pots are set on plastic peanuts in the pottery pots so the roots don't set in water.
