Wife trapped bunny #3 this evening and we took a trip to the park to release it to be with its siblings. No more snacking on our fresh veggie seedlings for these guys.
My Canadian hardy cactus is in year 3 now. It's spread and despite having a big hole in one of the main paddles of one bit it's branching nicely. It also grows surprisingly fast when it gets warm. Hoping it will flower again this year. I planted some hardy succulents alongside it and one of those is flowering already.
Project #367 for this summer is to try to get a dragon fruit cactus to grow up. I bought it on sale from a greenhouse as it looked cool. It's a climbing cactus that grows aerial roots and will climb supports. It also prefers humid areas like rainforests etc and will sometimes give you dragonfruit when mature. The plant I bought had about 20 “heads” so I plan to divide it up into smaller plants to see if I can get them to grow and mature. They will be brought inside for the winter.
