Ugh, repotting season has started over here and I'm so glad:celebrate! Worked with 9 plants if I remember correctly, so not too many. Can't wait to go through the rest of the collection
Repotting is a lot of work but it is rewarding for all involved! I repotted some cactus a few days ago, adding perlite and stones to their soil. The store bought succulent/cactus soil is way too organic, plants were staying wet too long. I hope I didn't hurt them, one refused to come out if his pot and I ripped some roots. :(

I find it very relaxing. I can be done with a repot pretty quickly, so it keeps it fun. Don't worry about root damage too much :hugs . Astrophytum peeps actually CUT most of them during repotting

Thanks Fluffy, :hugs I heard that some cut roots during repotting so I took that to heart. But still, I heard its roots ripping, it hurt me! :(
 
-flops- I live! I think... it's been nuts over here. ugh.

So my second batch hatched out on May 16th, they're going to be 3 weeks old tomorrow. I seriously need to post about them so I can get them sold (even though yes I have a lady who's interested in more of the girls).

The roosters from my first batch are going to be 7 weeks old tomorrow and omfg I can't wait till this darn pen is finished so they can get evicted from my house!! They're driving me crazy!

And in more surprising news, I ran into a lady at Agway today that wants to buy 6 hatching eggs from me to stick under her broody. So now I have to figure out pricing! Huzzah! (oi vey math...)

How's everyone else been so far? And how'd everyone's holiday weekend go?
 
Oh are you dealing with a prickly pear too? Ours is growing back like crazy outside.
Gotta love those wild Prickly Pears! Glad yours is doing so well. I ordered a plant on line that has "furry spikes" the kind that are nearly invisible. So the running joke is its going to stick me like crazy when I go to plant it. 🤣
