We originally split a 5-gallon pot and I've further divided my plants.<br /><br />We had about 0.4 inches last night and this morning. It really came down hard for a while. Now the sun is out. The plants are loving it.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-13469173429947498082016-02-18T16:31:54.850-08:002016-02-18T16:31:54.850-08:00Renee, have you tried Aloe striatula?

I don't know which variety of Pyrus calleryana we have as it was inherited with the house but, until this year, its fruits haven't made a mess. My hope is that this year's experience is an anomaly rather than the future standard.<br /><br />We've got rain - real rain! - coming down here. We're up to 0.48 inches thus far, which is almost double what was expected. I've been outside filling trugs with water from the rain chain to supplement what's going directly into my collection tanks. I look like a drowned rat but I'm happy!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-58744480776536134372016-02-17T18:40:07.705-08:002016-02-17T18:40:07.705-08:00How beautiful!
