Issue 10:04 THE CACTUS PATCH April 2007

The Succulent Garden at Cal State
by Linda Cooley

April 1, 2007

Good News:
>Plants we thought might be dead due to the freeze are sprouting!
>The saguaro has buds on it--for the first time!
>Lynn picked up several more native plants to add to the cactus section of the garden.
>Many of the plants are blooming now and many more will be blooming in the next couple of weeks. The weather continues to be dry--so that means fewer weeds!

Bad News:
>The section of walkway we did last time didn't work. It is all crumbly and cracked. We will have to remove it and do it over....or come up with another idea altogether.
>The weather continues to be dry...so that means more watering to do!

The next workday will be May 6--let's meet earlier, because it will be warmer! How about 8 am instead of 9? Hope to see you there.
