Let me tell you, this whole growing a cactus idea was extremely foreign to me at first, but it's actually turning out to be a pretty cool little experiment. It's definitely not for the impatient, or those who need instant gratification, as the seeds sure do take their own sweet time germinating, but to see the little form slowly rise from the soil makes it all worth the waiting! I have never seen cactus grow from the start, all I've seen were either growing naturally in Arizona (think 20' tall saguaros) or already established in those cute little planters every nursery has up here in the winter.
As of today we still only have one that's actually broken the soil, but there are another couple of tell-tale bumps beneath the soil, so I'm thinking by the end of this coming weekend we may have some additions to the cactus family. I've not yet had the chance to do much online research about what these seedlings look like and how to distinguish the different cacti apart while they're still small, but that's definitely on my to do list...
And so we continue to wait, and watch............ :)
