I know the feeling! The Opuntia will wear the battles scares with honor

Wow, do things look fairly lush and green there for January!

Yikes! That's some damage! How is the greenhouse doing with drainage? Sounds like it managed the hail without tearing? The plastic sheeting you have might be the better quality stuff.

Ouch! Like like what happened when some kids with BB guns found that Opuntia pads make good targets...

May they all grow out of it quickly!

Shmuel better bb guns then 9mm pistols, shotguns and rifles. People in AZ actually willing shoot at cacti.

Matt sorry to see the damage. It's been a strange winter.
