As an Australian I find the idea of growing prickly pear in your backyard hilarious. It's an incredibly invasive feral species.
However, since I also have bamboo growing in my backyard here in Australia, I can't throw stones, can I?
Do you guys eat them? They are delicious in salsa and salads.
It's going to be time to make some jam in a few weeks!
Or nopalitos today!
Heck yeah!
Jam jam jam JAM JAM JAM!
I just saw a video about the history of the prickly pear in Australia and it kinda went the same down under https://youtu.be/oYE9OwUzzeI
Don't pick these by paw, try to use the claw.
Bunch of pricks for sure.
Got to eat you your way out.
