    Something a little differant....

    Well, last week I found a Saguaro fruit on the fround that hadn't been picked clean by the birds (99.9% of them are) before it fell off the cactus. I was pleasantly suprised to find several seed still in the pod, so I'm going to give them away. They are small seed, about the size of this 'o'...

    How to find the concentration of fertilizer AFTER it's been mixed with water?

    I think I'm going to give Terracycle another shot. I stopped using it because I thought it was rip off when it comes to price, but now I'm going to play with it again since I'm downsizing anyway and it has less crap in it than what I already use. Maybe it won't burn one of my plants, is what I'm...

    My Heli has the mealys

    Hi All: My heliamphora has mealy bugs. I sprayed it with neem oil as I wasnt sure what kind of insecticide to use on it. I know they were mealy bugs because they were soft, white and fuzzy.

    Starting Unknown Opuntia Pads

    I got a few pads of an unknown "Mexican cactus" from my dad's co-worker to grow. I thought I would try cutting one if the pad into smaller sections so that each segment would have a cut side and then a normal "sealed" edge of the pad with the plan to place the cut edge in the soil once the cut...

    2 aliens

    Two aliens landed in the Arizona desert near a gas station that was closed for the night. They approached one of the gas pumps and the younger alien addressed it saying, "Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader." The gas pump, of course, didn't respond. The younger alien...
