My article made it in to the Mesemb Study Group Bulletin
Vol. 31, No. 2, 2016

They didn't mention this thread like I asked, so it can be used to add more info,
but that's normal that printed literature doesn't want to link to internet sites.

They changed the title to "Succulents in a Vegetable Garden"

Here's some new photos

Some people like the purple Titanopsis, little do they know that those dudes are Dead Men Walking,
they turn purple on they're way out.


I couldn't resist taking this photo

Look at that cute carpet of balls!!!

Craig,

I did read your article in the most recent MSG bulletin. While reading through, I felt l was having a dejavu... Had I seen this before, somewhere? Why YES here on the forum, it would have been nice to have included the link. Its really amazing that you have the climate to do this and how quickly they grow in the ground.

The purple titanopsis are beautiful looking even if they're done for.
