How do you plant a cactus? I think you know by now. I’d also like a guess as to how heavy they were. Sort of kidding but what a load of plants. I’ve gone to landscaping auctions here and filled up several trucks. I know what it takes. However I never dealt with cactus. Small ones we used to wrap with newspaper. But they were tiny in comparison. By now you’re exhausted and excited all at once. I know you know how to take breaks and just live in the moment. You must do that now. How wonderful for you. A long time coming and now it’s reality.

Arlene, reading this post about moving cactus reminds me of our most recent move. Remember the tall cactus in Mom’s yard in the relatively small pot? Mom bought it for me when I was probably 8 or 9, I’m guessing. That means it is about/almost 50 years old! It still bears the gunshot wound (bb gun) I gave it when in the teen years.
Yes, it has a place in the new yard.
