Pocket Garden

Weekends are never long enough and I really enjoyed this one. I decided to stay at home and work on my pocket garden. As Annie Lennox would say: "Here comes the rain again... So I moved my succulent plants here. Too much water is bad for these drought resistant plants.

I'm glad I checked my cacti because I was able to save this little fellow. It was beginning to rot around the base.  It was sitting in water-logged soil -the soil that came with it when I bought it.  I replaced it with my personal cactus soil mix. This cactus is going to be fine in no time.

Finally, I was able to plant the cactus seeds Arvin gave me. I was expecting more seeds from this pack. The packaging was too big for the amount of seeds it contained. Although I shouldn't complain, I got it for free. :)

These are all the seed from one pack. They're so tiny! They look like black sesame seeds. I planted them in a small  2-inch-deep pot.

I can't wait to see them germinate! There's a saying: To plant a seed is an act of optimism.

So, Aja! I'll give you an update with photos of cacti seedlings soon.
