That's great. I am happy with the new pad growth I am getting also. My banana tree is back to normal. I hope its the kind that bare fruit.Hey! Picked a whole ton of bright yellow dandelions & other misc garden weeds today before the rains came. Beautiful big dandelions, yooooo hoooooo
ps @Ray--Opo my cactus pads have commenced growing again. I’ll have to take some new pix of all the new growth. I pretty much stopped watering all Winter, started a wee bit ofvwatering a few weeks ago, and viola, lots of new growth. I need to move them back outside now for Summer.
Banana tree shoots & leaves are growing. Mr Frost nipped a few tips last week, but no issues...
Correct, the pad was lying flat on the ground. When I picked it up there must have been 50 or more inch roots.If I'm understanding what you just said the roots didn't come from the joint ? they were growing from the flat side of the pad? If so those plants are invincible. I need to eat some too.?
When I was 5 years old my dad was stationed in Hawaii. I remember having to drink powder milk because regular milk was to expensive.Of course itʻs nice, the weather is great, we can go to the beach all year long, but we donʻt get nice perennials, and wildflowers like you do. Things are called by very different names here, that itʻs hard to identify plants even using the tortoise table. Who knew what we called milkweeds here are also called nipplowort? Okay, not the best of examples, but you get the picture. Everything has to be shipped in so prices are even higher due to shipping costs. The smaller islands? Hah! Milk is $10 a gallon. Iʻm not kidding. Great weather certainly doesnʻt pay the bills. The average price for a house - a modest 3 bedroom 2 bath with neighbors within spitting distance is about $850,000. So many families live in multi-generation houses, it's not uncommon for grandparents, parents, and kids to live together just to be able to have a house. The 3 bedrooms 1 bath house I live in - about 900 square feet is $2200 a month, not including utilities. I would much rather be living back in Texas, but my husband wonʻt budge.
Wow, yes things are crazy expensive here. Thank goodness I don’t smoke anymore , cigarettes are almost $10 a pack. Utter lunacy to keep smoking!When I was 5 years old my dad was stationed in Hawaii. I remember having to drink powder milk because regular milk was to expensive.
If you think about it, when a pad falls from a plant in the wild it will lay on its side. There’s nobody to stand it upright. It makes sense the pad will root like that.If I'm understanding what you just said the roots didn't come from the joint ? they were growing from the flat side of the pad? If so those plants are invincible. I need to eat some too.?
We have violets in bloom in our garden too ?This was them popping up ysterday

Hello and welcome to the CDR. I’m Linda and I live in Kent in South East England.Finally checking out this thread, 8781 pages!!! Wow!
Spring has hit Philadelphia, my bulbs are working their way up and the forsythia has bloomed!
That’s very weird, maybe it was to do with not being able to taste anything apart from strong tasting sweet things. Glad you and your brothers are all ok now!Mine was bad. I hate to even get into that but I got extremely hungry. Weird. It had to be specific things though. One night I ate iced sugar cookies (store bought) for dinner. Or fresh strawberries with ice cream was another craving. My 2 brothers got it and were only sick 2 or 3 days and yet they tested positive for it. The only reason why they were tested is because they'd been around me. I'm glad you did get to do your volunteer work. It's so rewarding to work with animals. The little ways they say thanks is wonderful even though experience teaches you sometimes what not to do.?
Good morning/afternoon Heather and all the rest of you lovely people out there.Good morning All!
Welcome back, your ears must have been burning.? We were just talking about you!How’s it going everyone! Haven’t popped in for a while. Me and the animals are all good, still volunteering too!
That's great. I am happy with the new pad growth I am getting also. My banana tree is back to normal. I hope its the kind that bare fruit.
We had a great amount of rain last night. Hopefully the afternoon summer rains are beginning. I took a 5 gallon pail and timed how long it took to fill with the hose. So that is how many minutes I water the trees. Figured it has to be a close measurement.Lots of water, every day. Luckily, yours is in ground so you can probably water less. During Summer, I provide about 5 or 10 gallons per day. ?
The prosthesist came today with my new leg socket for a fitting. It fit perfect. Should have my new leg in a few weeks.
My son with covid is struggling, went to the hospital yesterday but oxygen saturation was good and lungs were clear. So they sent him home.
My God child in the Philippines is recovering well from dengue. Had a scare for a few days because he was admitted back in the hospital. White blood cells kept rising. Awhile back another family member lost a infant to leukemia. So that was a worry on everyone's mind. But the antibiotics finally started working. ?
