Wow it’s been a while!
I have still been sick off and on so my updates are slow.
The plants are very happy. I didn’t take video of the plants for a few weeks but have a couple posted on my YouTube.

Here is today August 4, 2026

Thanks for looking!

Hi everybody!
The wildfire smoke has been nuts!
Anyway today, July 18, 2026 I was able to go outside for about 15 minutes, just enough to do the videos!
You can see a drastic change in the size from the last video up to today.

Hi everyone,
As you know, Pennsylvania, USA is being hit hard with smoke from the Canadian and Minnesota wild fires. This has been at a level never seen before in our area. It is so bad I went out to go to the car and had a bad asthma attack.
With that being said, until the smoke clears, the videos ...

Yadda yadda yadda something cacti.

As is the case, and I prefer it this way, not much to update on the outdoor garden but within the last 24 hours I got 2 new pups on my TBM-B (my indoor garden). I have slowly gone over my plans for the fall/winter. I plan to take one of the cacti back to the level ...

Dink

Something something cacti, something something good something something happy

Anyway the cacti are doing well and are happy. Not much of an update but more of the TBM-b started pupping

Anyway today, July 11, 2026

Another day, another update.

I missed a few days of video this week from not being well. Everything goes well with my cacti buddies. I think I’m doing well this season. Overall I’d say this is going to be my best growing season so far. It’ll only get bigger and better from here.

I haven’t yet told ...

Everything is going well and the pups are filling out longer quiet, with a rh of 79%! They are not having any issues with the high heat and high humidity, they are loving it!
I find it fascinating how well these work with super hot days . Everyone has been losing their electricity. We are in the ...

Dink

Here’s today’s videos! I did not do them yesterday because of the heat. I have videos for today as I was out a bit earlier while it wasn’t quite as bad and I could handle it.

In that last video, you mentioned a cactus you planted upside down and then grafted another one to it? You can plant them upside down?!

Believe it or not, yes you can. It’s a fun little side project I tried and it worked.

In the videos I’m about to post, I was a bit annoyed with some of the ...

More days have passed and it’s time for updates. Everything is going well and it is hot! They are not having any issues with the high heat and high humidity, they are loving it!

Great job and I think the videos now look even nicer in the landscape format!

Excellent stuff!

Thanks! I try my best and I hope it shows that I’m trying. I’m not an expert by any means, just have been doing this since I was a kid.
Thanks again for the suggestion to go land scape!

Dink

I can not keep up with long form 4k videos every day so Sundays or Mondays.
Beyond that they are doing well, had a huge storm that moved through while I was asleep and nothing seemed to be having an issue.

I have a few more zinnias coming in my annuals garden and I missed the first flower because ...

Dink

Yesterday and today have been good. Rainy, but good. My outdoor cacti need the water badly as they were drying out a bit for the growth I want on them during the summer.

I forgot to post yesterdays videos on YouTube until early this morning because of how tired I was/am

Here are videos

Wow that’s a lot of break downs! How many hours are the sessions (is that what they are called)?
It’s much cooler to watch nas ar.

Dink

I don't know much about F1, but I'm learning more everyday! So much more fun than NASCAR where they just run in circles for 500 miles.

This is more of my style, i like all the curves and swerves and all the technical knowledge the who team and the ability to jive with each week

I'll be following ...

Dink

I feel like it’s the same messages over and over again so I’ll try something different:
Except where noted, I grew all of these from seed. This last winter I made the mistake of having them too warm under grow light without sufficient light they all stretched and become thin and then fattening out ...

Dink

These all look amazing! The seedlings especially are adorable :) I've managed to keep 3 little cacti alive in my office for about a year now and I'm pretty proud of myself - nothing on your garden though!

Thanks! It’s hard work to manage this type of garden when one is trying to expand it ...

Dink

Things are looking good. I attempted 4k video with 60 fps.
Please let me know how this compares to the other footage. It took me 2-3 hours to upload over 5g uw so it’s a big file and is in super hd (4k at 60fps).

So get out your 4k tv and your high refresh rate tv’s for the new cacti garden which ...

Dink

More time has passed, the garden remains happy.
Not much to report except it was raining and they like a good rain storm
(we have 5 days in a Row of rain and cooler weather in the mid 70’s f coming this week. Very high humidity and very high chance of humidity spots. They are used to the Peruvian ...

Dink

Even anther day has passed and another update is here
Not much new, same old same old in the garden, just turning the pots a bit for some sunlight on different parts of the cacti

Thanks for reading!

Dink

Here's a quick view of my annuals garden (poppies, cosmos and zinnias).
Hopefully you enjoy this yearly journey too!
Enjoy!

Dink

Hello people of the internet!

I have another update on the garden!
All goes well with the cacti and they seem happy and healthy, except one I've noted previously in videos past.
The TBM-B are all rooted and i believe even more pups will soon be forming on the tbm-b.
The columnar Bridgesiixkimura's ...

Dink

Hello everybody!
Today yet again more time has passed in the garden. The cacti are beginning to really grow and get their stride for the summer. It looks like the pupping might be slowing down a bit but every time I think it’s slowed down, it has just stayed as fast or faster growth and pupping! The ...

Hello everybody!
Today is another day in the garden. I don’t post on the forums yesterday but I uploaded the videos and shorts yesterday and today on YouTube. my YouTube is at the bottom of the page for the best and instant access to new videos! In the future I will do some videos that give the ...
