Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

A Cactus Seed Update

Cacti
April 7, 2010

Before I get busy in this year's garden I thought I should update you on the cactus seeds I planted in February of 2007 so they are now a little over 3 years old.  We brought the seeds back from Las Vegas, Nevada in a cactus growing kit.  I doubt we would have been able to get cacti plants on the plane and then there could have been problems getting them across the border so seeds seemed like a viable option.  Cacti are very, very  slow growers but they are also low demand and low maintenance plants.  The largest is now about a half inch tall.  It might be getting time to replant them.

Happy Gardening!

    Hi Leigh and thanks for visiting and the well wishes. I was surprised cacti were that slow growing as well. They are doing well though.
