Lovely little chickies, Russel, and the Mrs and the tag were right. They don’t need much water, or a lot of light, and they look very happy in their pretty new planter on their very own stand!

Well Russel, you thought they were harmless little plants, but now you’re going to find out!..................You’re hooked. You will be obsessed bf you know it! You won’t be able to leave them, no more holidays….. you have to plant sit, you will be counting the ‘babies’ and noting every new accomplishment. Oh yea, they got you now. LOL

All kidding aside, the planter is beautiful as is the table. Obviously perfect for your choice of plants….they love it. Nice!

whats wrong with your mrs not liking that table, its stunningly beautiful…..now add a second shelf below and double your garden…..

Truth be told, she didn’t really kick me in the shins. And, she didn’t not like the table, it just doesn’t fit her style. I never actually disliked plants, we just didn’t always see eye to eye. However, I must admit a certain pleasure seeing things popping out.

Beautiful stand!!! Love it.

Now, take Iris’ wisdom (you are indeed hooked and will be wanting more) and you will need to follow Mario’s advice and add a shelf to hold the next stage of your plant family.

Congratulations on the success and the beautiful addition to your office.

I understand MsD completely. DH has two alien-looking tables in the garage, while the craftsmenship is good, The style does not suit me…hmmm planters may work ;)

Well sweetie the plants look really good and I too am quite fascinated with all “new growth” and spreading out. As you know I haven’t grown these … so be very fun to watch and hear your “reports” after work. Look at you … a gardener!!!! ;-)

And I agree with Mario and the others (as you know), I think the table is very beautiful and the table top actually magnificient (too bad no picture of that) ... but the table as a whole has a “modern/asian” feel to it … and my taste is “country/rustic/antique” ... but it looks GREAT in your office!! ;-)

Nice mix of hens and chicks Russel.They grow like weeds.I threw a bunch of them under my cedar tree border last year and just left them to fend for themselves and the silly things are still living. (lol)

Just in case anyone is interested, or in the mood to be as surprised as I am, here is how the plants look today.

It seems they’re alive and looking to take over. I’m keeping my eyes open for pods and making sure I don’t doze off just in case.

lol pods.. that’s funny.

looks like you have a green thumb like someone else we know!!! :)

No green thumb here. My view has always been that I’ll leave them alone and they can leave me alone. They are not keeping their end of the bargain.

Bon, so that is what they are called. I have heard of them before, but didn’t know what they looked like. It really is something to watch them grow and change before your eyes.

I still cannot believe you have PLANTS in your office honey. We may “hook” ya yet -vbg-

Nice stand, Russel. I don’t know how I missed it. Grandma must be pleased now.

Thanks jroot. The Mrs. thinks I gonna become a gardener. But then, she thinks a lot of things. ;-)

Chicks and Hens are indeed almost indestructible.. They thrive in brighter light.. The only way to kill them is to drown them, like I did. ;)

Anything in the Sedum family would be good for you to grow, what, with your brown thumb and whatnot.. Might just turn green after all.. Else you’ve always got wood to play with. :)

I think I’ll stick to the shop and leave the Mrs. her domain. Besides gardening requires being outdoors.
