welcome to the forum Kevin. I want to tell you that you have come to the BEST forum on the Internet. The people here ARE, every one of them, ALL of them, kind, polite, friendly, and very giving of their time to help others out with whatever they need. You are very much going to like it here.

You've got a good start on a collection here, and I can already tell that you have been bitten by the bug that afflicts us all. Welcome to our addiction!

One note ... I think the cactus in the windows are going to need some more light than they are getting. They will either need to go outside, or put a 65Watt 5500k CFL light or two in that window. You really don't want your cacti to suffer from etiolation. I keep six in my kitchen window (a larger area than in your picture), and four four-foot fluorescent tubes in my living room window ... and it only costs me about 20 USD a month. Very cheap to keep my babies alive and healthy!

Welcome to the forum!
Make the moral choice & always do what's right. Be a good example. Be part of the solution & make a contribution to society, or be part of the problem & end your life with nothing but regrets. Live a life you can be proud of! Zone 7a
