OK, that's the first step on this slippery slope, Jim!
Next will be a small greenhouse, probably a lean-to sort attached
to some outbuilding. The first year you will discover that you
built it too small by half....

Well, I've been known to say that if God had meant trees to grow
indoors, She'd have put them there.

I still subscribe to that belief, but my growing collection now
includes a few trees that MUST come inside when temps get to the
low 40s. (I've had tree inside in years past, but they --
bougainvillea and Texas ebony _probably_ would have survived all
but the coldest days of my winters here.

Anyway, today, I installed a fluorescent grow light because I
have a couple of Ficus now -- and a Serissa in a small pot, and
my grown-from-seed Tamarind never did well on the kitchen
windowsill.

So, window light and one 28-inch fluorescent fixture is AS FAR
AS I'LL COMPROMISE My "integrity." ;-)
