prickly pear cactus

Rainy days are coming in lately and I wasn't having the fun to do some yard work but I will do it when i can and when i have the time and energy to do so. But surprisingly, while I was checking our back yard the Cactus I salvaged from one of my neighbor's planters grow. I wasn't expecting it to grow because I just left it there for months now lol. This type of Cactus is known as Spineless Prickly Pear they are part of the Opuntia in the Cactus family. This type of Cactus is safe because it isn't armed or spikely dangerous. Have you experienced planting some greens and did not expect that it grow? Photo by me.

Awe thank you! and the fun fact, they just grew without having lots of maintenance of some sort. Sure does Mother Nature's work. Thanks for your kind words!
