My prickly pear clippings that we brought from California last February have really taken off. This year, there does not seem to be as much damage from rabbits and squirrels as happened last year to the old clipping I brought.
This guy, who resembles Mickey Mouse waving to someone, is just about ready to go into the cactus garden across the little wash. I hope that this and some lawyers-tongue cacti will give us a nice border between our lot and the neighbors to the west. Click on the image to enlarge.
