Goodness I have so much portable fencing...lol. but, I tried spraying a window cleaner around that area that has a strong smell of vinegar...
shes not going near it now...may be the deterrent.

Autumn here. I get tied to the lawn chair as well. Mom says I eat the tree dropping that make my allergies act up. Blah! Can you believe she makes me lay here on such a hard chair?! She keeps her little succulents in the kitchen so I can't get them. I say you are innocent it was probably the lizard.

Lol...cassie has a lounge just like Autumn...lounging is so great. Love the succulents, nice pots. My succulents have grown huge and they're everywhere outside. I gave a lot to my neighbor to start plants. Theyre expensive in the store so best is to divide. Dont throw out dropped leaves. Those will start new plants, just lay them on the potting mix and soon they grow. I love air plants too. The pots in the picture are new starter plantings

Awww no fair Cassie has a better bed with pillows. Good advice on the succulents. I got these ones from my daughters baby shower. We gave them out to everyone that came and these were left over. I had to take care of 40 of them and I am not good with plants. Thankfully they all survived. Some of these look like they need replanting but I'm hoping not. Yikers. I don't want to be responsible for killing these poor little babies.

Cassie here....I am sooo busted. Mom went for a relaxing manicure...when she got back daddy was blathering on and on about the trouble I caused with her pots. He said oh they "looked" so nice. I dumped them over and tipped the big planter...dirt and plantings everywhere. She went outside... but first she poured a glass of wine... i tried to look innocent and thought it best to hunker down in my crate with a pathetic look for awhile. She has to re-plant a pot tomorrow. She bungee corded everything for good measure. Kinda ruins the ambiance she mumbled...sip..sip.

Xerxes here...Cassie your mom just needs to learn about 'beagle chic gardening', where plants don't need to be in dirt. It's tough being on the cutting edge, but she'll learn eventually. Besides, whose to say one of those nasty lizards wasn't eating the plants and you leapt to the rescue?

I BELIEVE you, Cassie, you're #1 your loving fan Xerxes

[Cassie]

X...you got it!...it was the lizards that caused the trouble.. I think daddy was worried mom would blame him for not better monitoring while she was gone. Looks like mom is taking me to camp friday while she goes out to lunch with her friend...daddy and I cant be trusted while she's gone

Have you considered finding air plants? They grow in wet tropical places.

No you are in Southern California! Tropical yes! Wet no!

Green house anyone
