Hello everyone,I am new here but have been collecting cacti and the odd succulent for about a year now.I am pretty obsessed about them really.I can't have a greenhouse till next summer so my plants occupy south facing window sills and i take them out if it isn't raining to get plenty of sun.Which i can tell you is no mean feat seeing as some are upstairs too and i have approx 40.It gets rather tedious at times but I am committed to their well being.Not going to mention if it starts to rain.the neighbours must think i'm a crazy woman.

Hey there dont worry about looking crazy the neighbours will get used to it.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.
I dont mind
I dont mind.
I DONT MIND

Hi welcome,
Where about in England are you?
There is often a BCSS branch locally:-

There are also quite a few cactus shows open to the public throughout the year, though it is getting late in the year now for shows:-
http://www.bcss.org.uk/events.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
You may also find Cactus Mall handy for finding cactus nurseries, seedsmen and useful web pages etc:-
http://www.cactus-mall.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
You don't have to be mad to grow cacti, but it helps!
