I am trying not to get overwhelmed by what I have sown already and where I am going to put them all… I have decided (after much deliberation… and discussion and stress ) that I am going to grow most of my seeds babies up into pots – we decided that this actually is going to work much better for me this year giving me versatility.

About Me General
Hello welcome to Cactus Girl as this space is called at the moment – this is a project in progress – I chose this name for a blog site many moons ago nothing todo with planting or gardening or Cactus for that matter – I was having a life melt down (I mean like Pre-COVID who could imagine you would!?!) and crying to my husband (crying is a huge part of my life) and saying I just feel so bloody prickly like a… like a… and he said Cactus… me – yeah I guess so… more LOTS more tears… possibly wailing… on my part We decided it maybe cathartic if…
