> >There are some pretty hardy cacti around. > For anyone interested in growing winter hardy cacti, I suggest buying "Growing Winter Hardy Cacti in Cold/Wet Climate Conditions" by John Spain. John Spain has grown winter hardy cacti since 1965. I believe that his book can be ordered from him directly by mailing $15 (includes shipping to USA & Canada) to: John Spain, 69 Bayberry Road, Middlebury, CT 06762 Mark Mazer Hertford, North Carolina USA
