Canadian Desert Garden Update

Post by James in Fleetwood » Tue Oct 09, 2012 10:21 pm

This is a link to my video updating the progress of my small desert garden in Southwestern British Columbia Canada. I posted a similar video back in January but there has been a real explosion of growth since then. All of the opuntia fragillis cacti are native to our province.

James, this is exactly what I got when I tried to open your link:

"The address wasn't understood
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program.
You might need to install other software to open this address."

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Thanks for the kind comments. My zone is 8a and our climate is a lot like Seattle's.
