Farmers Pick Fight with Gardeners I know it’s been a bad year for everyone who is growing things, but I’m not sure that it helps for farmers to put the boot in and blame the poor potato harvest on people who grow-their-own. According to them we are to blame for the spread of blight.

Hens and chicks plants make great low-maintenance options for dry, sunny gardens. And there are so many interesting cultivars available in a range of hues, from chocolate brown to green to bright orange and yellow. The common name may be confusing until you grow them yourself and realize it makes sense. One main rosette (mama hen) will eventually produce several offsets or babies (the chicks!). Though I’ve never heard them referred to by houseleeks, their other common name, the Latin name you’ll see on plant tags for these popular succulents is Sempervivum. They are members of the stonecrop family (Crassulaceae).
