No. You eat it/enjoy the flowers. It's prickly pear. Or water it, water, water, water
I only ask because I made the mistake of planting it in the garden one year. Thinking it would take forever to grow....

Seems Opuntia (prickly pear cactus) loves hot humid rainy summers!!!

It has taken over my one raised garden and I don't know a good way to weed it clean. It has crowded out everything but the grass, succulents like hens n chicks, and yucca, are gone....

I need a way to get the grass cleared out and weed it, it's starting to invade my lawn too hahahaha! Who knew cactus great so well in Ontario!

Fyi yes the flowers are lovely! Nice yellow ones on mine 🤗
 
I mentioned my neighbor earlier. Well, there were two dead mice outside her house (I looked around) probably poisoned. I didn’t explain to her that rat poison kills more than just mice and rats. It was too soon to say anything like that.
But for any of you that will listen (NEVER USE POISONS around your home if you have any other animals!
