Early last year, I bought a cactus pad from the produce section at the grocery store & made it back into a plant. Last May, it sprouted 2 new pads (wasn't sure if it was flowering or what..turns out it was just growing *grin*). Now there's a BUNCH more going on, so I thought I'd share;

Last spring when it first started to show real signs of growth:


New pads!


This spring..look at all the new growth!





I'm going to put it in a much bigger pot soon; eventually it'll go in the ground, but for now I like having it mobile so I can keep it out of the way of my 2 year old grandson.

And for some variety, here's today's harvest (which I'm snacking on as we speak)..mmm sweet peas. I planted them in 3 waves, each 2 weeks apart, so I should be getting peas for weeks to come, yay! :D
