During the rona someone dumped off kittens & the mom at a empty college! I took home 2 kittens a coworker took the 3rd kitten & I never caught the mom only saw her for a second. So sad that somebody just left them but the kitty’s are safe just wish I could’ve caught the mom.

Yeah, pretty heartbreaking for the mum but at the same time the kittens will get an amazing life :D

I was watching next to my four year old who was working on a puzzle. He's not paying attention at all until "kill a kitten," and he just stops what he's doing and stares at the screen all wide-eyed. Silence for like a whole 5 seconds while he processes. Lolol.

Yeah you got me, I just bought an Old Man of the Andes cactus for my first one and have my eye on several more to get when it warms up here. My husband says it's your fault I'm getting into those now, I said I got it to keep him away from my plants on the windowsill. He won't get close enough to knock them over if he's afraid they'll stab him. 😆

I have a few cacti on my list, a Monkey Tail cactus, a Boobie cactus and a Spiral cactus. I already have a Old Man cactus and he needs a few friends . Recently the Gymnocalycium Mihanovichii Variegata also caught my eye but hopefully i can buy one in person or maybe choose a specific plant online, i saw a few dark green and red that looked stunning.

Tequila in 2 years! Actually, since you are not in Jalisco, it would be mescal. Be in Cozumel in 3 days. If I see any cool cacti, I’ll shoot you pics on the Gram. I was waiting for you to make a slip on the fuku ryu.

Hey Donna, no worries. I use Rose Gun (from Bunnings) as it's an insecticide + fungicide all in one. For fungus gnats I use Tanlin (1 drop per 2L) in my nutrient solution (Hydroponics store or online) and if I get an outbreak, I get Raid Insecticide plugs (they go into your electric outlets) and blast the room for 10 days (They're from the supermarket or bunnings).

Depends on the season and whether or not they're dormant, but during summer, probably once every week at least.
