Cactus Exposed! (Or Every Fire Has a Silver Lining)

We will return to our previously scheduled BPB Hill Country Project updates, but just a brief note about the upside of a fire burning off all the grass on your property. In addition to having what is promised to be gorgeous green grass this spring, with all the cacti now exposed (and a little charred), Melanie can tackle this prickly problem head on (despite how painful that sounds). Always trying to stay chemical free, the cacti are being dug up versus sprayed with a poison. The grassfire also revealed loads of critter holes, just a reminder that are we are not alone and another reason to avoid utilizing toxic sprays. Next, we'll tackle the archenemy of the mower - rocks!
