[Leica] Wednesday Weeds

[Don Dory]

Hi Brian.   Prickly pears are weed like here due to about 30 inches of
rain.   They grow very large in this climate and spread out to occupy the
space available.  Somewhat further west and/or a little higher elevation
their attributes make them a decent plant for a garden as they tolerate
rocky soil and low moisture are perfectly acceptable for a healthy prickly
pear.
