She’s beautiful! Ever tried eating from her?

Yes! I make nopales from the pads, and last year I juiced the fruit. Just the seeds can be a bit annoying.

Nopales are a hidden gem. I can’t have tacos without them now.

Thinking about getting one of these… but it rains a lot here. Would a big pot work?

I think it could! They’re low maintenance here even with rain. A pot might be just right.
