Hello and greetings from Murrieta, California (zone 9b). I have always enjoyed my gardening hobby and 3 years ago bought a house where we scraped the back yard clean to start with a clean slate. Reworked about 75% of the front yard too. I was able to re-do the landscape and include plants I have grown, it has been a great journey. I started an agave, cactus, succulent collection and hopefully will be able to trade, buy and sell (although I usually gift many of the plants and cutting I make) with a new group of enthusiast. I mostly buy pups or smaller plant to keep the cost down, I have also started to grow some from seed (that is a journey all by itself). Anyway, happy to be here and looking to learn and share. Here are a few pics of yard and collection.

Impressive! Welcome.

Awesome setup! I love the potted plant wall. I might have to do a little miniature version of that next spring.

I know recently I have seen @Okiram is big into looking for trades. And @Fairview as well, for cold tolerant, not-too-tiny stuff. I am into the more cold tolerant stuff, as well. And I am sure there are more.

Young at heart but not otherwise. Too hard to see the small ones and after they plant me, whoever buys the place probably won't appreciate my awesome taste in plants and will rip everything out.
