got one of these beauties that my mom had planned a few years ago but didn't want around anymore bc of how easily they grow and spread. transplanted to a pot in the spring and that bad boy is thicccc now. Also was a great help when I got sunburn! Idk why people don't think to use them for this purpose, you can harvest a piece without harming the plant and either burn off or boil the hairs off then the gel inside is amazing on the skin. Thank you for this video! Hopefully our cactus blooms next year :)
I discovered some ancient 'shrubs' of Prickly Pear out at Race Point on Cape Cod. They were 4-5' tall and nearly 7' wide. They were the only ones I had ever seen (even around the rest of the Cape) that did not hug the ground.
We recently moved to Zone5. And a SW exposure. Coming from the Wet Coast I had no idea about gardening in the heat. Or drought 😳. Thank you for presenting in an intelligent way
Maybe because I'm always trying out new things? There are so many potential platforms now. I love this video format though and I hope to find a sustainable way to fund it into the.future. Glad this episode is launching well! There's a learning curve with UA-cam and I think we got a lot out of Season One.
And, how about that impressive field of LICHENS at 4:00? Those deserve a mention. Oddly, you were talking about plant blindness sometime right about then. Lichens just don't come into people's field of awareness, but they are amazing survivors and can be extremely old. Not sure they are entirely "plants" for that matter. I don't climb much so I'd never seen them on cliffs, but on trees and rocks for sure.
Eeeh no. 'Exclusive to the Americas.' Typical American. Cacti are absolutely also native in Africa and Asia, so basically all over the world. World heritage basically. Such big words... (Rhipsalis baccifera XD)
Here's more information on the topic from Wikipedia: "They are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north, with the exception of Rhipsalis baccifera, which is also found in Africa and Sri Lanka. Cacti are adapted to live in very dry environments, including the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth."
Cactus are Land Healers, I live in Albuquerque, been here 14 years . I love Cactus . I do urban desert permaculture gardening , at 5,000 feet .
I love that part of the world! The bluffs over the Delaware in the video are the closest we get to your home landscape
your guitar work on these is always a treat!
Thanks John! I really appreciate that, I'm looking forward to integrating more music into these...
Very interesting!! Thank you.
Beautifully done! Subscribed!

That's a great tip on how to use cactus pads, thanks!

Wow, I'd love to see that!

Very cool video. Love the music too
Thanks! Especially about the music 🙂
Not sure why your videos (or your old podcast) don't get more attention. I hope you keep them coming!

There are some FANTASTIC lichens on those cliffs.
Thanks for representing for the lichen people.
