cactus report
Mar. 10th, 2015 12:13 amThursday's high was 15°. Friday was up to 27, and the weekend was in the forties. Today was above 50.
I checked the cacti for the first time in a while. Everything looked shriveled but alive. Except the opuntia. The one upright pad is completely beige. The trigloch is pretty brown too.
We had polar vortex temps all through February. November was pretty bad too, so that early freeze could have caused them trouble.
Now that it's warmed up, I don't know how we'll use up all this bird feed. The downy woodpecker has just about finished the suet. I've got a five gallon pail of a mix. Plus a couple smaller bags of sunflower seeds.
