My MIL has a Macadamia tree…

That sounds impossibly exotic to me!

If Alex has a drop-bear lurking in his bathroom, he’s in real trouble!

I always wear my tinfoil hat when checking the shower stall (in case of Drop Bears)

I can’t sleep, but Jaffar’s in here, just snoring away (in a deep rooster sleep)

I just started sprouting for the Princesses. Won’t be ready for a few more days.
Do they like it that long? I have always given it to them at about an inch or so of growth but they dispose of it in seconds so maybe I should let it grow longer.

Since it is in soil...they peck bits off at a time until it is down to nubbins just like grass/weeds in the yard, then usually scratch half the soil out. I actually like giving it to them like this better than the sprouted because it takes them longer to 'gobble it up'...more entertainment/distraction/something to do.

And yes they love it! However, it takes about 3 weeks to get that long and, obviously, you can't stack them like some of the sprouters. I don't have enough space to have a continuous supply...so these are for 'special treat' days. I'll put the remains of the roots & soil on compost and restart them this weekend for a mid Jan. treat...and they'll get them again for Valentine's Day.
