Thanks a bunch. I've memorized the names for gp. It's possible that the kroger in our city will sometimes stock the better artichokes. One wouldn't break the bank for me to see if Saphire likes it as a mix in.


Looking at our local WalMart, not really that bad for one.. you’re right, it won’t break the bank.

It’s been a while since I’ve been on. Been busy with the move and getting the house and yard in order. Right now we are preparing for TS or Hurricane Barry. He is arriving here in just a few hours. We’ve enjoyed the wind today but nervous about the coming rain. Right now I’m sitting on the back porch listening to the frogs. They are predicting close to 20” of rain d. for our area. We’ve already boxed up the torts and put them in the house. I had a lot of picking up to do around the yard to make sure we don’t have anything dangerously flying around. I hope everyone in his path stays safe.

It's not expensive if you have a little Horsefield. So is the Jerusalem artichokes not good. One artichoke can go a long way with my little guy.

Globe artichoke (Cardoon) is the flower of a thistle and is safe to feed.

Jerusalem artichoke is a potato-like tuber that may not be fed. The leaves and flowers may be fed in moderation.

Hi Tricia. I hope the storm does not affect you too badly. Good luck and stay safe!

Im seeing little hints of German in some of those words, “Gelukkige” looks a bit like the German word “Glucklich”, both mean the same word. And “Dankie” sounds like “Danke”. Maybe I’m just going mad:eek:
There probably is some similarities. As Afrikaans originally comes from Dutch. And aren't German and Dutch very similar?

Good evening all. JoesDad and I have been on another “Hidden London” tour this evening. This time of Highgate Station in north London.

This station was built in 1876, and should have become a very important station. However, World War II got in the way and, while the underground station lives, now the overground station has been overtaken by nature and it is home to many creatures, including 2 rare bat species.

This is actually part of the platform... now much overgrown!

That would be interesting to watch!. Only kidding. So I take it you either have to have a huge tank or only one crab in a tank.
I’ve collected a couple of tanks over the years, I’ve got one massive one with 4 females and 3 males, sometimes you don’t see a couple of them for a few days as they are hiding in the rocks and plants. I’ve got a smaller one with 1 male 2 females and another one for my female emerald crab who’s doing really well. My large tank is the most successful, lots of space is key for crabs.
