Photo Essay: Andrew Plants a Cactus

Today we visited Kirstenbosch Gardens, a beautiful botanical reserve nearby.  In addition to enjoying the flora there, we wandered the nursery looking for plants to adorn our new home.  Andrew found a cactus that spoke to him, brought it home and potted it on our balcony.  Here is the story in pictures...leave comments on this post suggesting new captions!

1. I hope this bag of sand doesn't spill everywhere when I get it open...

2. I can't believe they made me buy a special bag of sand for 17 rand...

3. Don't stab myself...don't stab myself...

4. Hmm, won't quite fit...

5. Too much dirt...errr...special sand that is DEFINITELY not worth 17 rand...

6. Whew, that was hard work.

7.  Oh, I guess you want some too.
