About me and this blog

I started collecting cacti 15 years ago, wow I had to stop and think about that. Cacti and succulents have been the only plants I can keep alive, and I have killed quit a few of them too. They are a great plant for people who forget to water plants or are busy.  I started in Tennessee with eight cacti. Now that I am in Texas I have 30 or so. But don't smirk at the Texas part. Cacti grow in nature all the way up into Canada. No, they do not have as much variety but neither does Houston which used to be a swamp. And that is why I hope this blog helps people all over the country. I plan to chronical my successes and my failures. I will be posting pictures of the plants I have and new ones as I acquire them. If I repot anything I will tell what kind of pots and soil mix I use. My watering schedule will also be posted. Then I will add pictures and text as they grow or wither. As with most things I learn alot more when things go wrong. I hope to have everything up and going by the end of the weekend. Wish me luck.
