I got to do something that didn't even know existed yesterday! I got to harvest the fruit off of great-big prickly pear cactus! I didn't even know that they have fruit or that you could eat it. Joanne and I went out and cut the fruit (their official names are tunas) off of the cacti, and then Bob, Uncle Louis and I made jelly out of them. Well I should say that we attempted to make jelly, but it didn't jell enough so me made syrup instead. But still it is pretty good! I have to say that is definitely one of the coolest things I have ever done! I am attaching some pics of the plants and the fruit, so you can see what it looks like.
