Or maybe I do have a lot of stuff. But you still have me beat :-).<br /><br />I got the plastic sheeting on Amazon.com because I couldn't find anything suitable locally. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WJVVF2/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details" rel="nofollow">Here's the link.</a> A 10x25 ft roll (4 mil) is $11.55. That was more than enough for my area; I have lots left over to cover other exposed plants.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-7990423536373541002011-11-15T02:40:07.415-08:002011-11-15T02:40:07.415-08:00Dang Gerhard your succulent collection has really ...Dang Gerhard your succulent collection has really exploded and is looking awesome. And where did you get that plastic sheeting. Turning my gazebo into a greenhouse is our next project. So don't want to spend a lot of money on shower liner's. Yours looks really thick and sturdy, just what we need. And guess what. I may be getting another gazebo just as large as the one I have. It would replace the temporary cover I have over my planting area. It has shelves too. One of Jordan's friends has to move and are giving it away. Yippee. He also has lots of pots to give also. I am so jazzed. Again your idea looks perfect and don't forget the frost paper.Candice Suter.....Sweetstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439964856042558664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-54114207082536280262011-11-14T08:45:49.350-08:002011-11-14T08:45:49.350-08:00Mark, thank you!

I'm also toying with the idea of adding another succulent bed in the backyard so I can plant some of them out.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-16284184394699085032011-11-14T04:29:13.839-08:002011-11-14T04:29:13.839-08:00You need to throw some camouflage netting over the...You need to throw some camouflage netting over the plastic sheeting. :-)<br /><br />Do you ever feel like you're getting too many small pots? Maybe it's because your yard is smaller, but I've found that too many small pots in an area can start looking "busy". My solution is to combine three small plants into one larger pot, although that may be more work when the plants are as prickly as yours.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-20162963810774692122011-11-14T00:50:54.239-08:002011-11-14T00:50:54.239-08:00I like your succulent stage and the way you've...I like your succulent stage and the way you've arranged some of your pots on your patio :) It's good that the way you've put up the rain shelter you still have full access and view of your succulents, rather than obstructing them.Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-60546441666877915432011-11-13T16:29:04.190-08:002011-11-13T16:29:04.190-08:00Becky, with more bungees attached to the fence.
