Gardening friends,
my husband passed away last november and he had a large collection of cacti
and succulents.  I do not believe I can continue to care for all these
plants the way he did.  already I have had some casualties.  I want to keep
one of everything but that leaves many more specimens.  Do any of you have
any ideas about how to handle the distribution of these plants.  I
appreciate your input.  And, Penny , good luck with all the water.
