Way to grow Budznbluntz! Looking good. Biggest fan leaf I've ever seen
I have two dogs ,one is a 15-year-old Siberian husky ,when he was young he did get a muzzle full of porcupine quills ,it was a nightmare ,I had to find a vet in the middle of the night they tranquilized him and took out each quill with tweezers individuallyHopefully your dog doesn’t take an interest in one of those, I bet most would have to learn the hard way. Have never seen a porcupine but they are supposed to be around
I remember seeing a porkepine for the first time in BC. It took me a while to work out what it was. I thought they were about as big as a hedgehog, a bit bigger than a toilet roll but nooo a meter long....wtf David Attenbro, you never told me that??!!

7-January-2021 :
In my Sierra Morena it hardly ever snows every 5 or more years: some day of the worst winters a thin layer of snow can fall that barely set on the ground. Despite being far north of the famous Sierra Nevada (from which the others omonyms of the American continent take their names), our ceiling of about 1400 meters (I live somewhat below 900) is very far from its 3500.
But my 5-year-old niece who lives with me had asked the 3 Wise Men of the East ("los 3 Reyes Magos de Oriente") that it snow "like in foreign Christmas movies" ...
... And if you live in the Iberian Peninsula or Northwest Africa, you already know what happened: the Arctic storm "Filomena" descended as far south as the Canary Islands and Western Sahara, causing the heaviest snowfalls of which it finds historical references. (and that it did so in points where it had never snowed) in Morocco, Algeria, Portugal and Spain ...
It only lasted a few days, and then the temperatures rised again and everysnow melted ...

(As the Camarón de la Isla's song..."Tiriti-tirititi... tiriti-titititi... tirititando de frío... Tirititando de frío...bajaban 4 gitanas, por la orillita de un río..."

Snowy palm trees!
Fortunately for my niece, because shortly after discovering that snow was nothing but frozen water (and not similar to cotton candy) and that it also got wet and frozen when touched, she stopped wanting exotic boreal pictures ...
For me, they marked the end of the outdoor cannabis season, and also I stopped the olive harvest.

11-January-2021:
...By this day, (11--Jan-2021), only 4 days after the snowfall of the century, it was 16°C maximum in the shade, and the snow had almost completely disappeared from the ground.
I continued to harvest the olives that the snowfall had not spoiled. This is how the olive grove on my mountain was that morning:

Still Winter here in the Northeast! View Image
Around here, after the surprising and huge snowfall in January (because of "Filomena Artic storm"; something very rare here), I've had maximum temperatures in the shade of between 18 and 21 °C all this week. Winter is finally gone, and everything is starting to fill up with flowers and birdsong.
I am already planning the cultivation.
However, I know from experience that I must wait at least until May to germinate or plant, if I don't want to grow monsters in which the Guardia Civil helicopters can get entangled,,, heh....
A big greeting full of spring's hopes , with some photos of the farewell of winter in my Monte Adentro:
