| That's how it starts..............the next thing you know its where do I put them. Addiction can be a terrible thing................... but in this case there is nothing you can do about it  _________________ Betty

| I know what you mean. I am meant to be saving money and cutting back on buying cacti for winter. But no, I am already deep into a transaction to buy a bunch MORE cacti. I can't seem to stop. Got 1700+ seeds to sow for winter and a few hundred more to come soon and then any others that I like tehe look of by spring...maybe we need an AA type thing for helpless cactophiles? C&SA or some such...
Keep on cultivatin'

| When growing a bunch of self sown seed from home, I can't bear to give them away - been with me too long. But what am I going to do really with 100+ chin cactus? Hooked!
