Just bought >$200 worth of soil and succulents!! They're now sitting slightly feebly as part of a vertical garden outside of our window. The people helping us assured us that these succulents were extremely hardy--pluck off an arm and stuff it back into the soil, and they grow into a whole new plant! Presumably. It would be dreadful, and embarrassing, if these died on us.
The actual yard is still in the midst of getting leveled but boy am I excited to have by own little herb garden :)
