Owner Steve Norris, "Norrie," has been a staple of the Fairfield County running community for nearly 40 years. Norris turned his passion for running, coupled with his athletic expertise and coaching experience, into a successful business venture. Now Runner's Roost serve the same community that first established Norris' running career.
A graduate of New Canaan High School, Norris ran cross country and track. He was a CIAC Class M State Champion in the 1000 m. and 180 m. hurdles. At DePauw University, Norris was MVP of the cross country team in 1965. His 4x440 m. relay team still holds the school record.
In the spring of 1976, Norris landed a job at Darien High School as a boys assistant track coach. That fall, he became the coach for the girls cross country team. In 1978, Norris opened Runner's Roost at 425 Post Road in Darien.
As a veteran coach of the Darien High School girls cross country and track teams, Norris bolstered the program to numerous winning seasons, FCIAC and State championships. Under his leadership, countless Darien runners have gone on to elite collegiate running programs at universities across the country, from Harvard to West Point and Villanova. In 2013, Norris was named Fairfield County Sports Commission Darien Sports Person of the Year.
Norris maintains a loyal following in the running community. His Runner's Roost staff are knowledgable, friendly, and well-trained in the running, training, and racing industry. At Runner's Roost, you can find the very best in running footwear, from neutral and stability trainers to competition shoes for both indoor and outdoor track and field events.

In 2016, Norris moved his business to Goodwives Shopping Center in an effort to be more accessible to customers and provide a more personal running experience in the heart of Darien.
When it comes to shoes, we've got you covered. Do your feet hurt when you run? Do your knees ache just from walking to the starting line? Are your shoes older than you are? If so, it's time for a fresh pair. Our number one goal is to make sure you're in the shoe that's right for you. We will analyze how you walk and talk to you about past injuries and future goals. When we're finished you'll be ready to run out the door (in a good way).
You don't see too many people going on runs in business suits, and there's a reason for that. Proper running apparel should be breathable and comfortable. We have everything you need to keep you cool in the heat, and warm in the cold. Shorts, pants, tights, jackets, you name it, you'll find it.
Sometimes it's the little things that make us happy. Maybe it's a good pair of running socks to prevent blistering, a stylish hat to stay warm, or a watch that keeps track of your heartrate. Whether you want to feel like a secret agent with the latest gadgets, or you just need to put something in your shoes to keep them from smelling, you'll find what you need here.
The human body is amazing, but sometimes it needs a little extra push. Keep your energy levels up while on the run with power gels, dissoluble tablets, gummies, and more. We have so many different flavors you'll feel like you're shopping for candy.
Even the most well-trained runners can get injuries. Here at the Roost, our top priority is your safety and comfort while on the run. That's why we offer products essential to preventing and treating any injuries you may face. We have insoles to support your arches, foam rollers to release muscle tightness, tape and braces to support your knees and other joints, foot massagers for plantar fasciitis, and more.
How often should I change my running shoes?
Why go to a specialty running shop?
What is pronation?
I want to get new running shoes. Can't I just order them online if I know my size?
I got new shoes, so why do I still feel pain in my knees/back?
What is plantar fasciitis, and how can I cure it?
How often should I run?
Can I use running shoes for other physical activities, such as weight lifting, tennis, basketball, etc?
Running shoes have evolved to incorporate lightweight materials that cushion the foot from the trauma of running. Most (not all) cushioning comes from EVA foam, a lightweight material injected with air cells designed to absorb impact. But, like all good things, the foam eventually loses its magic. Besides the technology used to cushion the shoe, how often you run, your weight, and your foot strike will affect the life of your running shoe.
According to some researchers, running shoes should be replaced anywhere from 300 to 500 miles after the first wear. For a runner doing five 3-mile runs per week, that means a new pair every five to six months. (Ask Santa for a gift certificate to the Runner's Roost!)

Just left from there and I must say, it was actually very depressing. I get that they're "just alligators" but those poor things look miserable. Half of em looked dead. And all they get to eat is dog good. Really? Smh. Felt exceptionally bad for the little goats. They're starved! You can hand-feed them, thru the wires, and they practically attack the food. Kids will probably like it because they don't understand animal cruelty but for an adult who has empathy for animals? Not a place to go.

Went there as a stop on our vacation in Shreveport. it was a nice park. Many alligators of all sizes. Kids loved it. About 50 bucks for 6 of us to get in. Gift shop had some interesting stuff and was not overpriced. Get a few bags of feed too. Go to Natchitocges town to eat. Go to the river for shops and local restaurants.

Our first trip to LA and we wanted to see real gators so we went to this park. I can understand the gators living quarters to be nasty but the caged and penned animals were living in filth. No excuse for this. Some of the animals were in such filthy water that mosquito larvae was swimming around in their water. The womens bathroom was also filthy. This place needs to be regulated by law.I do NOT recommend going there. We could not get out of there fast enough. Hold your nose it stinks!!!I live on a farm so I know what animals are supposed to smell like and how to keep their pens clean.

MUMBAI, 13 JULY 2016: The National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) Maharashtra, organized a Knowledge Seminar in Association with Practicing Engineers, Architects, Town Planners Association (PEATA) India, on the recent Draft Development Plan (DP) & Development Control Regulations (DCR) 2034 published by Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) on 7th July 2016 in Mumbai.
The Seminar was specifically organized during the suggestion /objection period to deliberate on the details and various aspects of the revised Draft DP and DCR 2034, its implementation challenges and possible implications, said Niranjan Hiranandani, Founder and First President, NAREDCO Maharashtra. "The Seminar was supported by the DP Department from the MCGM and also saw PEATA India Representations, stake holders from Real Estate and Government Representatives from various departments," he added.
The Seminar witnessed an in depth analysis of the recent revisions made by MCGM in the Draft DC Regulations. It also saw deliberations between MCGM officials and PEATA as also NAREDCO members on some of the important topics relating to the revised Draft DP and DCR 2034.
Ajoy Mehta, Commissioner, MCGM was congratulated by the Founder and First President, NAREDCO Maharashtra on his efforts in adding and conceptualizing 300 acres of area through reclamation of land to create an open space in South Mumbai. Niranjan Hiranandani appealed to the Municipal Commissioner to consider the option of reducing taxes collected by the corporation, which in case of affordable housing, would help the state achieve its 'Affordable Housing' target.
"Mumbai is moving to be the commercial capital of South East Asia," said Ajoy Mehta, Commissioner, MCGM, "given that innovation was allowing the service industry to grow exponentially in the Metropolis". Following the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model, the Municipal Commissioner suggested joint development of real estate in Mumbai by government agencies and private developers, terming it as 'an option that could be considered'.
Niranjan Hiranandani expressed satisfaction and congratulated Ajoy Mehta and his team on bringing out the revised DCR in a planned and transparent manner.

Subjects were assigned to one of two groups equated for body mass and weightlifting total. GAA received ascorbic acid each day. GP received a placebo similar in appearance to the ascorbic acid supplement. Subjects participated in a competitive, high volume, high intensity training program. Blood (fasting) was drawn 5 times: baseline, Day 16 preexercise, immediate post, 1-hr post, and 24 hrs post. Exercise consisted of typical large-muscle-mass exercises familiar to all subjects and was standardized based on relative intensity (% 1-RM). ANCOVA, using preexercise ascorbic acid concentrations as the covariant, showed a significant difference (p = 0.02) for Cortisol at 24 hrs post. Testosterone or the T:C ratio did not differ between groups at any point. (C) 1998 National Strength and Conditioning Association

2014 Canadian GP analysis: Delving into the detail and strategies from the race
Why being the last man over the line is not an advantage at Mercedes, Button turns back the clock and Alonso loses his fast starts...
By William Esler and Mike Wise
Last Updated: 10/06/14 5:42pm
Is being the final man in qualifying no longer an advantage?
So often in F1 we have seen the last man over the line taking pole position after been on track when conditions were optimal.
Sebastian Vettel was the master at pulling a pole lap out of the bag right at the death on his way to four successive World Championships, but for Mercedes it has been the man who has gone out first who has taken pole position at five of this season's seven races.
With the supposed advantage of running last in Montreal, Lewis Hamilton could not beat Nico Rosberg's first effort, let alone the German's improved second attempt.
It has only been in Australia and Spain where the final man across the line has taken pole position in 2014 - with Hamilton edging out Daniel Ricciardo in Melbourne and Nico Rosberg in Barcelona just seconds after they had put themselves on provisional pole.
On three occasions we have seen the final man out make an error on his crucial lap, so could it be that there is an added pressure that comes with being the last man out?
In Malaysia, Rosberg made a mistake on the wet track to hand Hamilton pole; in China both drivers made errors on their final attempts and in Bahrain Hamilton locked up at Turn One to blow his chance of beating his team-mate.
A tale of two Red Bulls
We had to expect a mega-watt grin from Daniel Ricciardo on the podium after his first F1 win. Similarly, Sebastian Vettel was magnanimous in defeat and yet the World Champion still found time to cut to the chase. "The Mercedes-powered cars were just too quick," Vettel said, and he didn't mean the works cars. Well not from about lap 37 anyway.
Rather, getting stuck behind the one-stopping Force Indias of Sergio Perez and, particularly, Nico Hulkenberg was the cause of his vexation. "Basically my race was over. I couldn't get past," lamented Vettel, who'd run second in the early stages. But it also helped Ricciardo, who'd been a fairly anonymous sixth early on, to get past him. How so?
For Ricciardo, the move forward started when he pitted on lap 13, jumping ahead of Felipe Massa after the Brazilian had a slow stop. Vettel, who'd lost second place to a fully-functioning Lewis Hamilton on lap ten, stopped two laps after his team-mate but, crucially, he rejoined right behind Perez and Hulkenberg. Managing tyre wear yet with more power down Circuit Gilles Villeneuve's long straights, it was the worst possible combination for Seb to come up against.
What's more it allowed Valtteri Bottas in sixth and the pursuing Ricciardo to close up themselves: between laps 20 and 30, Vettel's lead over the Williams came down from 3.2s to zilch. It was at this point that Williams tried to undercut Vettel, but Red Bull's response saw off Bottas. Counting against Vettel, however, was the traffic he encountered on his out lap. But according to Christian Horner it was Ricciardo - in clean air with Bottas out of the way - who made the difference when he stopped again on lap 37.
"His in lap was massively impressive," Horner said. "And it was the in lap that did the damage. The pit stops were within 0.2s of each other and that's how Dan got the jump on Seb." Stuck behind Hulkenberg he might have been, but Vettel hadn't actually wanted to pit when he did. "Basically I was asking to do something with strategy, which I think was possible," he said. "On the pit wall they have a much better overview but in my case they didn't really help me to create something different and to use the pace we clearly had. So in the end I pitted and also lost a position to Daniel."
With Hamilton out, Massa had also led briefly but when he was removed from the equation (Williams had tried to one-stop the Brazilian before thinking better of it) the only driver standing between Ricciardo and the by-now hamstrung Rosberg was Perez. But the Mexican was also struggling with his brakes in the closing stages and Ricciardo finally made his move on lap 66.
In the grand scheme of things, Horner thought it more important than that final pit stop. "The really decisive moment for him was his move around the outside of Perez into Turn Two. That was really what won him the race today."
Button brings back memories of 2011
Jenson Button's charge through the pack in Canada may have gone under the radar, but it had hallmarks of his famous victory in 2011.
The McLaren driver was one of the first to stop in Montreal dropping him to 17th and third from last having started in ninth. Even after the others had stopped, Button had still dropped to P14 and it looked like being another disappointing day for the Woking squad.
Even when the 2009 World Champion pitted for a second time on lap 37, he was still outside of the points in 13th.
"I was so far back after the first stint and that was my problem and everything just felt wrong as it did many times at a certain race back in 2011," Button told Sky Sports F1 after the race. "But I was able to pick it up and catch up in the end."
And pick it up he did! The McLaren driver never dropped below the 1:19 mark following his second stop - he had never broken 1:20 prior to it.
After passing Daniil Kvyat on lap 48, Button set about closing a gap of 11 seconds to Fernando Alonso, reducing the deficit to just two seconds within ten laps. Perhaps in an effort to save his tyres for one final push, Button then maintained that gap to Alonso for a further ten laps, but the ease with which he then closed onto the gearbox of the Ferrari (lapping almost a second quicker than the Spaniard on lap 66) suggests the McLaren driver had pace in hand.
With two laps remaining, Button passed both Alonso and Hulkenberg to move up to sixth, before Sergio Perez and Felipe Massa's tangle promoted him further and gave McLaren their best finish since the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
What's happened to Fernando Alonso's starts?
...It was a point Martin Brundle made at the start of the Canadian GP as Alonso's Ferrari, which had fallen to eighth place on lap one, laboured behind Jean-Eric Vergne's Toro Rosso. Quick getaways have proved a real ace up the Spaniard's sleeve in recent seasons - particularly so during 2012, a year which, in lots of respects, may prove the high watermark of his F1 career.
Alonso made up a total of 30 places on the opening lap that season; only four times did he tread water, as it were, but given he was on pole position at two of those races then perhaps the urgency - of not having to play catch-up - wasn't quite the same. In fact, if we use the last three seasons as our sample, it was only at last year's Korean GP that Alonso actually lost any ground on the opening lap.
Since then, however, that has been the trend more often than not - given the notable exception of China, where Alonso used his start (even with that whack from Felipe Massa's Williams) to propel himself to a podium finish. It's uncanny how often one has led to the other in the recent past and with Ferrari's F14 T appearing as underwhelming as its predecessors, it's a knack he'd probably do well to rediscover.

The reality is, however, that files just don't work for some people. Some of us just pile, that's all there is to it. Trying to force a Piler to become a Filer is, in my opinion, a complete waste of time and an exercise in futility. Piler minds are wired differently than Filer minds.
As an unrepentant Piler, I am always on the look-out for that one piece of equipment, furniture, or system that will satisfy my Piler tendencies while producing the tidy orderliness of the Filer way. I have tried many different apparatus, all with the same results...works for a while, but before you know it, the Piles are back. It's incredibly frustrating. I am a reasonably intelligent adult...and I am bigger than these Piles, so why can't I master them?
I was wandering around Meijer one evening and as I passed through the aisle that contains the filing supplies my eyes happened to glance upon this:
This is the Pendaflex PileSmart Project Sorter. The "PileSmart" is what caught my eye. It gives validation to my preferred method of paper management.
It claims to help you "Organize Piles and Projects For A Clutter-Free Desktop" using "6 Color-Coded Sections To Sort and Retrieve Papers." You can also "Customize Sections With Blank Index Sheet" (and it includes a few extras).
When I saw this, it was almost like one of those Hollywood 'hallelujah' moments...almost like a choir of starry host singing and radiant glory shining down upon me.
"This is it!" I told myself. "This is the Thing I've been looking for to get those piles under control!"
There's only one small problem...(and no one who knows me will be shocked by this).
I haven't yet started using this miracle purchase made over a week ago because...
This brings to light the possibility that my Piler problem is rooted in some deep, psychological quagmire. Is it Perfectionism rearing its ugly head? (If I can't do it right, I won't do it at all) Or maybe, Fear of Failure (what if I assign categories and it doesn't work?). I did a search on 'psychological root of indecision', which produced a link to an abstract called Perceptions of parental control and the development of indecision among late adolescent females.
...it appears that a major source of the development of decisional procrastination tendencies in late adolescent females lies within the home environment. As expected, authoritarian parents who exercise overcontrol and inflexibility of authority untempered by warmth or support, were perceived by daughters as having a parental style that influenced their inclination toward indecision. Having authoritative parents, perceived as accepting and supportive of their children while flexible in their use of authority, and permissive parents, perceived as accepting without use of parental authority, were unrelated to decisional procrastination scores of daughters.Certainly makes me think about how I parent my children...
Whether I can blame my parents for my inability to make decisions or not, the fact remains that no matter how marvelous this product may be (I may never know, at this rate)...it will only work if I actually use it. Nowhere on the label is any claim made that this product will actually organize your papers for you. Or that piles will be magically attracted to it and just end up in there on their own accord. I'm glad it was not outrageously expensive...$3.99 isn't too bad, but the Penny Pincher in me is quite irate that I bought yet another organizational 'gizmo' and it's just sitting there. On top of a Pile. How ironic...

It is 1666, the year of the beast, seen by many as the moment the devil will appear on Earth.
Science is in ascendance, crowding out other systems of thought. The ancient art of alchemy is in retreat.
No one has been able to find the philosopher's stone for more than a hundred years, but many of the best minds of the age are still in a desperate search of it. Vivid stories abound about how alchemists of yore created a powerful stone of sorcery, rejuvenating all it touches, turning decrepit, old lead into precious fresh gold--a universal medicine known to the alchemists by its true name: Red Sulphur.
But the divine art is receding from the memory of humankind. Science is bought at a price.
This saga is based on the last verified historical reports by credible witnesses about a mysterious transmutation. It follows the lives of a great alchemist and the two extraordinary women he loves: the last in the world in possession of the miraculous Red Sulphur, the source of all creative powers. They are pursued by dark forces and powerful world leaders. This is a visionary tale spanning two generations in the last days when magic was strong. It is the story of the final embers of the long-gone days when the magi could still do what we, children of science, hold to be impossible. In sensuous ways that bring the vibrant feel of the seventeenth century to life, here, for the first time, is the history of this illustrious alchemist family that changed the fate of Europe and the Americas.
It has been written down to honor the ancestors.

Actual results:
After step3, core dumped.
Expected results:
It should prevent create snapshot image with the same file name as files in snapshot chain.
Additional info:
This was introduced by commit d1671013d61fd9204f063a643cb07935c41622bb: "Introduce do_snapshot_blkdev() and monitor command to handle it."
You probably also shouldn't try to overwrite the image of a different disk in the VM, or the disk image of another VM, or your host kernel. The question is, how far can and should we go with sanity checking? We'll never be able to completely protect the user from doing stupid things.
We could probably avoid overwriting any existing file by default, but then I guess we'd need a force flag.
I added a basic test in the code to make sure we didn't try to overwrite
the base image, however this test was effectively free.
As Kevin points out too, there's an endless chain of options we would
have to consider. A filename could be a link to a filename we already
use etc. We would have to walk the full chain of backing files and stat()
each one of them to compare the output. It will add expensive overhead
without adding any real gain.
The real fix here is to make sure you don't try to specify an existing
image file or device.
Closing as WONTFIX

You can hang them up on a wall, or on your front door, or lay them flat and use as a stunning table centre piece. They are incredibly easy to make and if watered regularly, can last for many years. Amaze your friends with your very own living piece of art! Here's how to get started.
What you will need:
A wreath wire frame
Sphagnum moss
Thin Wire
A selection of succulent cuttings or small rooted plants
A chop stick
The wire frame, sphagnum moss and the succulent plants can all be purchased from Fickle Prickles. The thin wire will be available at your local independent hardware store (support your local independents!).
How to assemble:
1. Hydrate your Sphagnum moss. Sphagnum moss comes in a dehydrated brick, and to use it in your succulent projects, simply follow the instructions on the packet to hydrate. Usually a 150g block will expand up to about 10 litres which should be enough for two succulent wreaths.
2. Fill up your wire frame. Simply take small handfuls of the hydrated sphagnum moss and mold it on top of your wire frame. Be very generous with the moss as you want your base to be quite solid so the roots of your plants have something to take hold of. Aim for a mound that is about 8cm tall.
3. Wire it on. Take a long piece of your thin wire and attach it to the frame by winding it securely on a selected section of frame. Then use this wire to secure the sphagnum to the frame by cross threading it over the top every 7-8cm. UPDATE: We have discovered the wonders of fishing line. Fishing line is fantastic at holding the moss down, and is far less visible than the wire.
4. Clean it up. Tuck in any straggly, loose pieces of sphagnum moss.
5. Prepare your succulents. You can use cuttings consisting of the tips of your succulents, or you can also use rosettes. Combine as little or as many different species in your design, the choice is yours. To prepare them, simply remove some of the lower leaves so you have a stem of around 1.5cm - 2cm. UPDATE: You can also use small succulents with roots (about tubestock size). Simply remove them from the pot and trim the root ball to a manageable size for your wreath. What's great about using rooted succulents is that the time it takes to establish your wreath is far less than if you use cuttings.
6. Place Your Cutting. Use your chopsticks to make a small hole and simply place the stem of your cutting into the hole. repeat until the frame is full. Create 'U' shaped pins from wire to secure cuttings into place. UPDATE: To plant your tubestock succulents, follow the same process, just make the hole a little bigger.
7. Grow them up. Lay your wreath flat until your cuttings are well rooted. This will take around 6 weeks, keep watering them regularly during this time and don't allow it to dry out. Once established (give your cuttings a little tug and of they don't budge, they are established), hang up the wreath onto your favourite outdoor wall or lay flat and use as a table centre piece.
8. Maintenance. Keep your wreath in a partial shade position - This will help to stop your wreath drying out too quickly. Water your wreath once a day, and water thoroughly. Prune your wreath regularly to encourage new growth and keep your wreath nice and densely covered. You can fertilise your wreath with a seaweed and blood and bone solution, which you can buy from your local nursery. Use as directed.
As you can see, it is quite simple to make a beautiful piece of living art! And it an art piece that will keep on giving year after year with regular watering, fertilising and pruning.

Sempervivum is an easy to grow evergreen perennial perfect for xeriscaping, in a mixed perennial border, or grown with other Mediterranean herbs. They are hardy to USDA Zone 6 and bloom all summer long with fragrant musky foliage.
Hens and Chicks have been cultivated as far back as ancient Roman times. Romans grew them in vases in front of their houses and brought them along when they colonized Western Europe. A belief that Hens and Chicks protected against lightning developed from an apparent resemblance of the plants to the god Jupiter. Clean-shaven Romans thought that the plants looked like the bearded god. Former common name "Jupiter's Beard" alludes to this fact. Later, Emperor Charlemagne ordered houseleeks to be planted on all roofs to prevent fire.
These evergreen succulents provide drought tolerant, low-maintenance color and texture all year. Hens and Chicks are fun to plant in combinations for morning sun locations. Try pairing Sempervivum with ferns for an interesting take on the "urban forest" theme. Alternatively, filling a large bonsai pot with a mixture of hardy cacti and succulents, including Hens and Chicks, makes a stunning addition to sunny outdoor spaces. They are perfect for rock gardens, rock walls, living walls, and are commonly planted in living roofs. In addition, they attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
Sempervivum bear sweet, star-shaped flowers with eight to sixteen petals. They are usually pink, red, white, or occasionally yellow. Jovibarba, another genus called Hens and Chicks, can be distinguished from Sempervivum by their bell-shaped, pale yellow flowers. It's exciting to see stalks shoot up that are topped with a cluster of soft flower buds. In fact, the growing flower stalk is called a rooster!
Leaves of Sempervivum can be used in a similar manner to Aloe vera to treat minor burns, insect bites, and skin injuries. Flavonoids in the leaves contribute to their anti-inflammatory properties. Also, the leaves the Common Houseleek, Sempervivum tectorum, can be added to salads for crunch and a cucumber-like flavor.
In addition to the fifty wild species of Sempervivum, there are also thousands of named varieties in cultivation. Because Sempervivum are monocarpic, (each plant grows, flowers, sets seed, then dies), choose a pot with more than one rosette. Each rosette develops from the "mother" plant, and the rosette "pups" will continue to grow and divide after the "mother" rosette dies. Plants in the Sempervivum genus can also reproduce by seed.
Some varieties you can find at Portland Nursery include:
Sempervivum 'Black'
During the growing season, green rosettes with dark purple tips add contrast to a succulent pathway. As the weather cools, the whole rosette darkens to a purplish-bronze for showy fall color.
Grows 6-12" tall by 6-12".
Zones 5-10.
Sempervivum 'Green Wheel'
'Green Wheel'- Apple green leaves form tight rosettes. Light pink flowers in summer.
Grows 4-6" tall by 6-12" wide.
Zones 4-10.
Sempervivum 'Red Beauty'
'Red Beauty'- Frosted, gray-green leaves during the growing season. Red tips in winter. Pink flowers in summer.
Grows 4-8" tall by 8-12" wide.
Zones 4-10..
Sempervivum 'Royal Ruby'
'Royal Ruby' Burgundy leaves with gray-green tips. Purple flowers in summer.
Grows 4-8" tall by 8-12" wide.
Zones 4-10.
Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Cobweb'
S. arachnoideum 'Cobweb'-Small green rosettes with white hairs that look like webbing among the leaves.
Grows 2-4 inches tall by 6-12 inches wide.
Zones 5-8.
Facts: sempervivum
Family: Crassulaceae
Genus: Sempervivum
Common Name: Houseleek, Hens and Chicks, Liveforever
Origin: From the Iberian Peninsula, east to Iran, and south to the northeastern corner of the Sahara Desert.
Culture: As long as the drainage is good, Sempervivum are happy in average to poor soil, in full sun to part-shade locations. A rocky corner of your yard that gets very hot in summer is a good place for these plants. They also do well in parking strips, amongst the roots of trees. If there are concerns about drainage in the planting location, simply incorporate pumice and organic matter to create the necessary air pockets in the soil. Mulching with lava rock encourages water to drain away from the crown of the plant.
Maintenance: Sempervivum are almost care free. If a rosette blooms and dies, dig out the dead plant and wait for the surrounding rosettes to fill in the hole.
Although these plants are extremely drought tolerant, they will need consistent watering to get them established the first season after they are planted.
Propagation: The easiest way to propagate Hens and Chicks is by dividing into individual rosettes and planting them where you would like that them to take hold.
To grow from seed, sow seeds into 2-inch starter pots by pressing them into the surface of the soil. Moisten soil gently and place pots in a bright, warm location, preferably in a South facing window. Although the temperature needs to stay around 70F, pay attention to the seedlings to make sure they don't overheat.
If seedlings fail to germinate within four to five weeks, they may need a simulated winter, or stratification. If this this the case, place seeds in a refrigerator for four to five weeks, then place back into a sunny window.
Collecting seeds from your plants to sow later can be an adventurous way to add to your Hens and Chicks collection. Because they easily hybridize, Sempervivums grown from collected from seed are not guaranteed to come true to form. However, you might end up with something new!
Pest and Disease: The most common problem of Hens and Chicks is overwatering. Make sure that their soil dries out before the next watering. If leaves become translucent and discolored (a common sign of overwatering) dig up affected rosettes and let dry out before planting again.
It is possible for Sempervivum to sunburn. If there is a lot of radiant heat and intense sun exposure, mixed plantings can create shade pockets, and, therefore, prevent sunburn in parking-strip-like situations.
Other pests that can bother Hens and Chicks include aphids and mealybugs, deer, rabbits, dogs and cats, moles and voles, slugs, and birds.
Aphids and mealybugs may attack plants that are stressed, either from insufficient light or overwatering. A strong jet of water can dislodge aphids. Neem or insecticidal soap can be used on both aphids and mealybugs. Correcting cultural practices prevents these pests from feasting on your plants in the future.
Deer and rabbits may eat Sempervivum in the spring before other vegetation is available. Dogs, cats, moles, and voles can harm by dislodging new plantings. Established patches shouldn't be bothered. Alternating between animal-urine-based and plant-based repellants can help in discouraging hungry, digging animals. Bait can keep slug populations down. Alternatively, making your yard friendly for garter snakes can help in slug control. Birds may uproot new plantings, but established plantings shouldn't be bothered.

If you are still in the 70's, I guess I can't complain about being in the high 70's. Your pictures are beautiful. I love being in cemeteries. Is it weird that in college I would go to them to study? They are beautiful, and nobody bothers you.ReplyDelete
I just clicked on your link from Like mother like daughter and just had to say your boys are all gorgeous! I have three gorgeous boys, aged 3, 2 and 1 and I get way to many comments about how crazy I am to have my three little musketeers. Lovely to "meet" another mama with a bunch of boys who loves every wonderful crazy minute with each of her precious little men! :-)ReplyDelete
Why on earth do you have to go into the Parish Office to request Masses said? What do you have to do that is so special? I just ask the priest, or fill in the little envelope at the back of the Church or I could ring the Parish Office or send an email. Crazy. Lots' of work people could find it difficult too, how many Mass requests aren't being made because it's too hard. Why don't you ask the priest if it can be changed? He's probably not even aware of the difficulty, sounds like the secretary doesn't like change.ReplyDeleteReplies
I should be fair. I could probably call and arrange to send a check or put it in the collection but so many steps and I avoid the phone at all costs. They are very concerned about dates and days and spelling and I feel like it would be much more complication than just going in. So it's my fault for being a wimp :) But an online calendar program where you could pick your own day and even pay right there would be SO nice, wouldn't it?Delete
Your nice comment makes my day. I love knowing that you were here and the only way I do is if you take the time to leave a note here! Thank you for taking the time to do that! If you'd like to contact me privately, please email me at betterthaneden1 (at) yahoo (dot) com. Please know I read and appreciate every comment even if I can't reply personally.
