No, I don't grow my cactus outside, as I don't believe mine are hardy. Of
course, we have the native Opuntia, but I don't grow it because I had a bad
experience with it as a kid walking barefoot. I just take my cactus and
succulents outside to the hot, sunny deck for six months out of the year and
bring them inside to sunny windows for the winter where I don't fool with
them or rarely water them. What with self-watering in summer and them going
through dormancy in winter, my plants pretty much take care of themselves.

Welcome aboard! You seem like a devout plant lover! And it's nice to
know I'm not the only crazy fool growing cacti in this part of the
country. :-) (well, i'm assuming yours are outdoors like mine?)

Came across the PBS web site by accident, so decided it might be nice
to join. Sounds like a good group and a chance to learn more. Pam Braun
