Cactus

We had two cactus growing in pots on the corner of our lot.  I have watered these cactus exactly once in the two-plus years we have lived here.  They survive on their own.  They are such good survivors that their pots have expansion cracks and their roots have grown through the bottom of the pots.

Instead of replanting them in pots, we decided to take them out of the pots and plant them in the ground. Well not us...I called my trusty gardener who made quick work of the project.

Jose and his crew broke the pots, extracted the cactus, trimmed the roots, dug two holes and placed the cactus in their new resting place. It took them less than an hour and cost us $50 which we think was well worth the money.  We would have been broken and bloodied had we tried to do this ourselves.

  2. Cool looking cactus-es!! I don't blame you hiring someone to do the job. Great price especially if the ground is as hard as it looks.
