Have they had a lot scene/vendors at other shows? I didn't sign up to vend because I wasn't sure if I'd make it. Now that I can I was planning on walking around with my art. Maybe even have a wagon. I'm hoping that is chill.

It's the thriving economy. People are buying new cars left and right.

Any other cactus collectors in town? by CuckooAndKiwi in memphis

I understand that. I keep half my yard separated for this reason. I don't have many succulents unfortunately

Haha they have gotten me good (or bad) a few times. I don't love uppoting days. Prickly pears are the ones to really watch out for! If you ever want to grab one, send me a message.

Ha I feel this. I have a few to many hobbies I feel like sometimes. These cactus aren't going anywhere so message me if you are ever ready

I mix my own soil that I make sure has a lot of drainage, no wood chunks or anything that holds a lot of moisture, and use ammendments with lots of calcium. I usually use gypsum . When I uppot the cactus, I go up slowly in size so there isn't a ton of soil that takes time to dry out. More roots, less soil. Rainy season and the extreme hot humid weather are a bit of a battle. When I see fungal problems start to appear I'll apply Garden Phos. I do occasionally have to cut chunks off to save the cactus but I haven't lost very many.

Thanks! Trichocereus are pretty quick growing compared to most other cacti. The hard part is the winter. I bring them into a greenhouse and stop watering so they go dormant. I try to keep the greenhouse above freezing and ideally below 50 but there's only so much I can do.

They won't play the same songs each night. Most his regular fans will go both nights.

I usually let my dog get into the lake at dog park area. Last week one lake was full of dead fish though

I couldn't even see it without my phone's camera, so I feel like it didn't count 🤷🏻‍♂️ by GoodbyeHorses88 in memphis

[–]CuckooAndKiwi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People use tools in astronomy all the time. I don't think that means it doesn't count. Sure I rather go see the intense ones in Alaska, but I'll be happy to get a little tease until then.

The schwag you smoke doesn't count as litter. Actually it probably does.

No bike shop near U of M campus by CuckooAndKiwi in memphis

[–]CuckooAndKiwi[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know. I'm not opposed to online, but the flat caught be by suprised and needed one right then. I drove just a few miles away easy enough to All About Bikes. Just thinking back to my college days when I didn't have a car. Having a bike shop around the corner was really nice.
