i have been working on Vashon just a short drive to the ferry from south park and that combined with getting over a mersa infection had has put me in a good mood. Makes me want to go out and do things on my days off, i still have hopes of selling some of these, going to ask around at the next CCSS meeting, hope to see you there Greg, BTW how was the bike back from the last one Green Grin!

this is what i am going to try....
if they still fall out by fall, ha ha ha , i will take off the face and put another layer of chicken wire in on top of cactus.
i am thinking that if i water it once a week it will root like crazy, eventually gluing the plants to the box, it is only 1 1/2 inch deep so with any luck the roots will come out the back and sides etc
