Good morning to you all too!
Thank you Tee, and I wish you success in your Opuntia (Tuna) blooms and future jelly.
Glen,...I've never had those butterflies and actually have never had any sort of bug problems on the Cabbages or greens yet. This is our Winter however and possibly thats the reason. This is the only time of year they work here, but we get a good 7 months of appropriate weather for them. Its hard to hear about the awful Summer heat waves around your beautiful Country. Are you experiencing that as well on the Island? I either use a sharp paring knife to quickly slice off the fine thorns on them. I have experimented with the small blow torch technique which does work with a quick blast of flame to singe them off, but still prefer just a quick flick of the blade and a good rinse with a scrubby pad after.
