# Everyone else is grumbling and buying Xmas trees while I’m squeezing…

Everyone else is grumbling and buying Xmas trees while I’m squeezing around everyone with a basket of Mammillaria elongata, box of coarse sand, fungicide.

I’m not a huge fan of the lady finger variety, but this one is a Pink N y m ph. I couldn’t resist. The Monstrose was a no-brainer. Anything resembling a sci-fi dwelling is coming home with me.

Included is a picture of the current setup. I had to lower my table, but the grow lights on there are now unnecessary even on a cloudy day. I’ll post more about that once I get the landscape right.

You’re looking for an addiction? $6 - or 3 for $10 - to get you started 😀. Really, I see a Home Depot anywhere, and I’m making a pit stop to peruse. You’ll find me crouched in the aisle taking pictures and debating if I have more room.
