A friend of mine gave me a cactus. She said I wanted it. I don't remember saying that. She told me, "Plant it in your garden." Seriously? YOU plant it in my garden. That thing looks sharp. How does anyone plant these wickedly sharp plants? I set it outside and ignored it all summer. Late in the fall, just before the frost, I casually picked it up and brought it in the house. And I ignored it some more. Now, little green growths have appeared. I guess it likes to be ignored.
