herb garden for the spring, they are so good for us!Linda

Hi Linda, it’s around 30 degrees here day and night. It’s too warm most of the year, but december to january the temperature is just right at around 25 degrees. I know this is whining, but the weather is not really suitable for cacti, some cold weather seems to help cacti flower and grow plump. :D
