Here is the image of the cactus in our vintage milk can
Thought I'd share this image of our newly planted cactus.We've planted this tall growing cactus so as not to have anything drape down and cover the awesome embossed dairy lettering.
Potted the cactus cuttings yesterday
With the weather nice enough to back outside, I decieded to plant the cactus cuttings I've had in the garage for the last few weeks.
I found some old plant containers and filled them with native sandy soil. I'll leave them like this until I find a place to plant them or until I give them away.
I also planted a very cool cactus in one of our old milk cans that we have throughout our yard and garden. I think it will look really great when it blooms it's white flowers! Not to mention I'm trying to do as much as I can to attract the few bats I've seen around our area. I've read that for some reason bats like white flowers? Not sure why, but then again there is not that much information regarding bats that I can find. If you know anything on bats in the Arizona area near Phoenix pleaselet me know.

Planting some more cactus in the morning!
I plan on planting more cactus in the morning along a wall that gets a lot of sun. I plan on planting a few of what I now know are called "pinecone cactus". They are thos gray looking cactus that get a beautiful white flower. I'll post some photos after I get them in the ground to show you, however I did take a picture of one or two mixed in with other cactus cuttings a while back if you wanted to look there.
Also, I will be making a repair to a drip line that I punched a hole through while extending my citrus tree drip lines. I noticed a large river of water had made a groove into the new steer manure mulch I added last weekend, so tomorrow I will have to explore a little and find out where and how I did that. I'm thinking I poked a hole in the smaller drip line while trying to install the drip line stakes I needed to keep the emitters at the right place without ever moving...we'll soon see :)
