Yes when your love one has to pick out prickly pear stickers from your bottom you know it is true love.
It was either real love or he found he was not going to get any sleep until they were out.
I have been growing them for 15 yrs I know they will jump out if your hands are near them. I plant them in a bed of gravel in away from my garden area. It is too dry and hot for weeds to survive so I never have to weed the area. I have a long handle prong that I use around them.
