Oh dear. I bought about 500 pots a week ago during ELK...
Lucky enough only five plants.

I feel so sorry for the little Lithops I left behind...

I have also measured my window sill and I can fit a few more pots on... And I still haven't started on the kitchen window sill!

I keep telling myself that I do not have room for any more. Then I see another "must have" plant and it"s "Well, maybe just one more".

I think it was Oscar Wilde who said something along the line of "the best way to rid yourself of temptation is to give way".

Quite the reverse. Your vision is already improving. You can see much more clearly than before that your windowsills are too small. You can see much more clearly what a problem it is not having a greenhouse. The prognosis is very good; I'm sure you will continue to make progress. Once you have a greenhouse, you will then be able to see the design faults inherent in all greenhouses (they don't stretch very well, and they are all too small). Your horizons are already expanding. There is no way back.

Funnily enough, I have asked for a window sill greenhouse for my birthday with the thinking if I can't go out, I'll go up! :lol:

Luckily I like Gymnos and Fraileas.... :oops:

I believe it only becomes a Problem when you find you are living in one room of your house, and everything else is taken up with plants. :grin:

According to the census, I only have two rooms so that could be a problem :???:
