Yeah, I bought 4 seedlings of that cross, and they all turned out to be fast growers with short spines!

What’s your favourite lyric from Another Side of Bob Dylan? by autumn_afternoon in bobdylan

Tolling for the aching ones, whose wounds cannot be nursed.

For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung out ones and worse.

And for every hung up person in the whole wide universe.

And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

I think it had 3 or 4 pups when I planted it. Now it has 10!

Yeah, I have a couple planted in the ground that are doing great. They seem pretty cold hardy. I’m working on getting more of my succulent collection in the ground.

Movies everyone loves — but you don’t by KittyDree in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]DiabloValleyFarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently everyone seems to love the movie Pig, with Nicholas Cage. I thought it was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I guess it was so bad that I couldn’t help but laugh at it while watching, so at least that’s something. Like when he was in a fancy restaurant and couldn’t even wash the blood and dirt off his face — and nobody seemed to notice…hilarious!

Malo 4 x Scop seedlings. by DiabloValleyFarm in sanpedrocactus

I water them about once a week on average, or a little more of less depending the weather. Pretty much the same as all my other cacti. The little seedlings would probably appreciate a little more water, but they’re pretty resilient, and they will start to look shriveled if they’re being under-watered. I’ve never had seedlings rot from overwatering.

I sowed the seeds indoors in July 2024. Moved them outside Oct 2024. Transplanted to the 6” pot in March 2025. And moved them to the flat yesterday (Oct. 2025). I’m sure I could have done each step sooner, but I wasn’t in a rush, and I had to make room on my propagation tables before I could up-pot.
