inspired by:
• the luminous red nova of the monoceros (unicorn) constellation (v838 monocerotis) [1]
• cactus blossoms, especially saguaro [2] and prickly pear [3, 4]
• snakes as mythological bringers of life and light (hail satan :black_sparkling_heart:)

A prickly pear cactus (Opuntia engelmannii 'O') in the snow. It's not native here, but to the southwest, northern Mexico and the U.S. east to Dallas. This selection is from the eastern end of the range where it is wet in the winter. I planted this in the fall and am crossing my fingers -- it got quite wet this winter.

Estic aprenent a estimar la xumbera, nopal, Opuntia spp.
És una planta que resisteix el fred, la calor i la sequera.
Les seves pales, flors i fruits són comestibles.
La seva baba, barrejada amb fang, fa que aquest sigui més bon material de construcció.
Les pales, trossejades i enterrades als clots on es planta un arbre, ajuden a la retenció d'aigua.I, té virtuts medicinals.
És regenerant i emolient.
Menjada, millora la salut intestinal.Fa uns dies vaig fer un ungüent amb les seves "fulles" i sembla que el seu gel/baba es va amalgamar força bé amb l'oli, deixant una textura molt interessant.
La veritat és que va molt bé per irritacions i deixa la pell estupenda.Si vols aprendre a fer els teus propis remeis i tens un grupet i un espai on fer-ho, sàpigues que em moc per aquestes terres per fer tallers a demanda. 😉 ⚗ ✨

Prickly Pear (Opuntia) Fruit Beginning to Ripen in the Garden This Week
As summer winds down, the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia) is starting to ripen its fruit. I have 5 large cacti in the front and back garden, and they have reached maturity, so our harvest of fruit has been growing each year. Today, I spotted over 40 fruits at various stages of ripening. I am guessing they will all be ready for harvest once I return from a 2-week trip to Australia in September.

Yo siempre asesoro para usar cualquier material para muching. El estado natural de la tierra es estar cubierta. o por hierba, o por material organico (hojas o lo que sea) 😊
Y los restos de poda van de seda. aportan algo de nutrientes a largo plazo, materia orgánica para el suelo, protejen el suelo de erosión, sol y variaciones de temperatura, y hacen posible que las raíces colonizen los cm superiores del suelo, donde justamente hay la mayor concentración de nutrientes.
Lo mejor seria triturarlos un poquitín, pero haste que tengamos bicitrituradora comunitarias para los restos de poda (https://kante.info/download-bereich/fahrradmaschinen/) hacemos lo que podemos...
el consejo de @durru de usarlos como fondo para bancales profundos apoyo también. Solo ten claro que los restos de poda contienen bastante carbono y en el proceso de descomposición, lxs microbixs immobilizan algunos otros nutrientes como nitrogeno y fósforo. entonces si los tienes ahi, asegurate de asegurar un buen suministro de nutrientes (p.e. con orina -para abrir otro melón, ya que estamos).
Hagas lo que hagas, deja algun metro como control sin el tratamiento, y asi puedes mirar el efecto que hayan tenido tus experimentos. Y apuntate todo lo que has hecho, que en tres años no te acordarás 🤓
Un abrazo y mucha suerte en la horticultura y la recuperación de las memorias, que es muy bonito :anarchoheart3:

More prickly pear processing!
This time I made all the decisions so I’m quartering them and stewing them with no other ingredients. Ideally fresh lemons, but probably just some citric acid if I can find some.
I really miss having access to a steam juicer as this would be the correct tool. Food mill and chinois will do.
Also the colloquial American name for chinois is still “china cap”

I suppose the other pictures are interesting as well. All the skin and seed waste is going into the wash and the end of our front yard for the quail and friends to nom on. Hopefully sprout a couple of new stands of opuntia

@thebiologistisn my Opuntia (not sure about the species but yellow flower) was blooming last week. It has been living on a my glazed balcony, also during the winter season. Minimum balcony temperature was around -16C this year.

Most productive and useful garden crop for my part of Southern California, by far... prickly pear cactus.
1. Produces more pads (nopal) than I can possibly eat. Perpetual, near infinite source of vegetable matter all year.
2. Prickly pear fruit available in summer... with enough prickly pear, WAY MORE than you can eat. You can make it into a jelly, or into wine. And probably other stuff.
3. Can be used to cultivate cochineal for red/purple coloring, if you're into natural fiber weaving or crafts.
4. Grows on a hot hill without water where NOTHING ELSE LIVES.
5. Fire buffer plant. Almost entirely water.
Probably more benefits I don't know about!
