Been moving plants from the other shadehouse and from home. This new one will be the cactus house, the other will be for non-cactus. It's maybe 65-75% full. Still have about 15-20 flats of cacti to move over and a bunch of larger Opuntiads and other larger plants, of which most will go on that lowrider bench. I hope to have two 10-12' sections (where the big Agave is and to the right) to use for sowing seed and for fresh "out of the bag" seedlings to acclimate them. I'll make a removable frame to cover with an extra piece of cloth. Actually, almost all plants on the 2 middle bench sections are seedlings ranging from 2 years to 3 years old. On the far right are Jen's 2010 seedlings. We've been busy!

I've been trying to think of something to say other than "WOW," but that's where my brain keeps taking me.

How about "exceptional coolitude"? :)

haha I have a feeling if I ever made a green house it would be like 250F in there. Ya know the old saying: "Arizona, it's a dry heat. Like sticking your head into a 350F oven"

I have actually seen them on the news cook eggs in pans on the sidewalks in Phoenix.
(probably could do it in Darryl's shade house too when it's 145F! Eek!)

You may be timing it perfect for the great Opuntia show ;) Lots of buds are brewing...
