so yesterday i woke up and knew, this day i must fetch my cacti.
it was impossible to ignore this feeling even tho it was a random unselected day - just favorable weather wize
so i take a drive down to my old house and as i get there - the dreaded gsg(garden services gangsters) were there rake and spade at hand.
all my cacti - yote graphts and all were piled up in the dirt - some chopped/grazed/broken - but nothing time wont heal.
now keep in mind i chased this garden services fucker off my property last time with my airrifle -to his face - as he had ignored me and come onto my property despite my repeated warnings to get lost - long story yeah.

so anyway - the cacti had called me so strongly i couldnt ignore it - yet i was unaware i was being called - i just acted accordingly
oddly this also throws a timebender into the equation - i had known that morning what i had to do - yet nothing had occured yet - cactus based foresight ?

Dang Phlux, good save! That would have been such a shame to lose all of those cacti. It will take a little more work, but perhaps your bond with these plants will be even stronger now. After all, considering what the cacti give to us, it only seems fair to help them out. Good luck getting everyone re-established.
So was this at an apartment or something? It's not like cactus are weeds, or some kind of invasive. The "Garden" guy wants to kill the plants? Ridiculous.

cacti other than a rhipsalis spp are not indigenous to where i live and opuntia and cereus are known weeds here - cereus is simmilar but i think the motivation was a hidden and sinister one - but anyway we live and learn.
some of them are my first cacti that iv had close to me for many many years.

glad you heard the warning that was sent
