Mom I bought cactus soil also but I really think it's sold as a gimic, that is to have the lightly colored soil against the green. I haven't tried mine yet either.<BR/>Jack of all trades was outside until 10:30 last night and we have water!

To see if they can do it without getting stuck? You should repot that cactus and see if it grows more.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-26076586914297883652007-12-12T20:47:00.000-06:002007-12-12T20:47:00.000-06:00Tina, I sure am glad you gave me that for Dawn ca...Tina, I sure am glad you gave me that for Dawn cause I never got on a beach in FL. Joanne wanted to take me but it is so hard for me to walk on a beach (and you know how Nana and I loved the beach) and my wheelchair is worse than me on the beach. Not sure if my electric chair would work or not. It might as it has such wide wheels. If any electric would, it would as Permobil is the best.

Unfortunately, the back pays for it.<BR/><BR/>Prickly pears are prickly as Skeeter found out and good for the Saint for getting it right. I am just not sure what makes us want to touch cactus but we all do it. <BR/><BR/>My book says it grows all to way to Canada.

While out in the woods one day I stumbled across a small patch and decided to bring it home with me to try my luck. Well, well, those things are not nice to fingers! I never messed with it again! Not worth it to me. I probably still have some spines under my skin....

I have never seen one, must be in protected areas.<BR/>I tried to get another one of the prickly pear from Texas but we came back with more luggage than what we left with. Texas blooms yellow. Oh and btw don't display prickly pear atop a fish tank, the heat from the light zaps the liquid from it. Found that out from the one I got off a Florida beach. bye Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
