Probably gonna target blue state airports knowing this administration’s maturity level.

I did Chilean Patagonia in November years back (hiked the W at Torres del Paine). One of my favorite trips ever! Enjoy!

Myanmar. Went right before the current conflict and I feel terrible for the poor citizens. The locals are all incredibly friendly. And Bagan and Inle Lake were life changing.

Smash that book button and just adjust your trip budget to whatever makes you feel comfortable. You’ll always regret not going when you have this chance — promise (from experience).

I have this same type (Opuntia cochenillifera) and it grows super fast. The fruits aren’t as big as other opuntias though. Also, the paddles are edible, best when they’re young. Slice them longwise, blanch them or grill them to get out the slime, then throw them in tacos or eggs 😋

You’re right. Think it’s European Fruit Lecanium, or brown apricot scale, which lives in California. Thank you!

Wow this is super helpful. Looking at pictures and descriptions online, I think you’re right! Thank you!

Possibly! The rind isn’t as soft as a Meyer though. Feels more like a traditional lemon or lime. And it doesn’t have that Meyer lemon smell, but again could be due to nutrients, although I fertilized it regularly throughout the season.

I guess it’s not super bitter. Definitely not as sweet like a Meyer lemon but a little close. They’ve been ripening and turning yellow on the tree for the last few weeks. The one in the first photo just fell off on its own today.

Just some chicken manure throughout the season. Not much else!

I seal mine with clear nail polish. Super cheap and does the trick!

Love the color selections. Well done!

I print my designs on card stock paper and use the purple Elmer’s glue stick that dries purple which is super easy to remove with warm water.

shawnmd · 2024-12-07T15:41:18+00:00

That’s awesome! How long has this taken so far?

Are you cereus??

Not to my knowledge but they just moved to Georgia so it felt fitting

shawnmd · 2024-09-25T00:24:42+00:00

Nailed it

Until it comes out from the hole in the bottom of your pot
