Good morning all.
It's very pleasant here today with temps predicted to reach 19C by 4 pm.
Then back down to an average of 8C by next Monday so I'm not putting the woollies away yet!?
I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my opuntia pads for Lola.
It's quite sad that I'm excited about such a mundane thing - I need to get out more - when I can!!!
I hope everyone has a good Tuesday.

Well the opuntia arrived but it's not the small pads I was anticipating but one massive pad weighing just under 3 lbs. It's not dried out at all though, and feels quite fresh.
So obviously Lola will be having slices of it and I won't be able to try growing my own, but that's OK.
What do I do about storage? Do you keep them in the fridge or just a cool place?

I think about that everyday, wondering whether people we haven't seen in a while have simply stopped visiting, or whether they are sick or passed on. I have a note in my "important papers" giving Josh's email address and requesting that he lets you know what's happened to me.
Hopefully that won't be needed for a long time yet!
I kept mine in the fridge in storage bags. I only planted 2 and tried Sapphire on the other four. He wasn't interested. They stayed good for a long time.
That's how I feel too. I want my son to say I just can't visit for now but I know we'll meet again.
They'll soon realize which side their breads buttered on ?
I've put it in the fridge .
Lola really loves it.
I'm not sure how much is a good daily dose for him but if I left it out I think he would soon finish it off.
Couldn't tempt him outside into today's sunshine with it though.
I'm just pleased it's another good healthy food for him and the place I got it from seems pretty reliable.
Hey gang, with Spring here now and lots of plants coming up, i thought you all might find this article of interest..

9 Popular Houseplants That Are Toxic to Dogs
Houseplants are a common sight in nearly every home. If you have dogs, be sure to avoid these 9 trendy houseplants to keep your pooches safe.
I'm not sure about that either. Probably it's best to always do variety. That's how I feel about any food I can get Sapphire to eat too. It's something I can mix with the rest of his favorites so he won't get even pickier. What I'm wondering is if you can slice across the top area, across the pad and plant that. It wouldn't hurt to waste some even if it doesn't work. I didn't plant mine as deep as Heathers and one eventually fell over but the other is still growing. But if yours would root and grow some starts you might be able to plant those. That's just a theory.?
I like the spuce also but I haven't checked them out lately. I probably should.?Hey gang, with Spring here now and lots of plants coming up, i thought you all might find this article of interest..

Thank you Cathie, I think that would probably work, but one of my friends is bringing me one that he has grown for years and wants to rehome, so hopefully I'll be able to keep that going. In fact I have very kindly also been offered a second from a lady we all know and love but my space is going to be limited soon when my conservatory comes down so I have had to decline that but I'm very grateful for the offer.
Enough space is my problem too. I can either have my animals or a bunch of inside out side plants. So I just have to do plants that can be outside ? Also if I put them outside in the summer they could get polluted with snails. It's not worth all the extra work. There's too many other plants that will work for food available.
My outdoor space is going to be a bit limited for a while with the contents of the conservatory which will have to be covered over and left out until I have a new home for them; the better things will have to come into the house and take up space in here until a new conservatory is built - something I may not bother doing if a new house comes up.
We have volunteers and retired teachers who come in to help students who need more 1:1 support, everyone wins all around ?
Good morning all, it's beautiful here again and very warm in the sun.
I'm trying to encourage Lola out into the garden, but so far he's just sat and looked at it from the doorway.
Most torts would try to make a break for it if they saw an open door but not Lola.?
It's no good me putting him out there because he'll just panic and run back in; if I shut the door he'll try barging it, so he has to do it in his own sweet time.
It took a while last year but eventually he realised he was a tortoise and spent quite a lot of time out there.
The secret is to make him think it's all his own idea.
Patience is definitely a virtue with Lola!!
Hope everyone has a good Wednesday.

I would think they will be ready to eat. The ones I pick last forever in the fridge.
It should work, just let the cut edge scab over before planting.
