agaves in the afternoon sun

Don't these grow quickly, took mine out the greenhouse last spring had a right struggle to get it back in this autumn,had to cut the spiky ends off this summer as our dog's got a bad habit of sticking his nose in all the pots, thought he'd have his eye out, pretty lethal.

they do grow fast...i put wine corks on the end of mine to protect my dogs....

Thats a good idea :-)

Then you can tell those more gullible that it's a cork tree! LOL... Ooops sorry, I started out to say that it's a great photo...love the afternoon light...I have two agaves that I'm transporting with the move...and hoping that they will survive the colder climate. I may get that greenhouse yet!

WOW! agaves.. That might be something that I might want to "toy" with. It is the plant that produces Tequila and is grown best in central Mexico, which would be zone 9-10.5..
I wonder how one would do here in zone 8 under an organic program? {ponders a new "next growing season" experiment} (chuckle)

~N2O~

Lori i tell the gullable thats why i HAVE to drink the wine...he he he
these put up with -6 last year, it is imortant to dry them out for the winter...

Yes! good point, Sandra. I have mine in pots in my cousin's garage. She's been kind enough to take my babies until next spring. They will be in the cold..but dry!(It's raining again...but at least it's not snow!)

one less thing for u to worry about Lori.
we have had a dry couple of days here, but thats all set to change again...

Looking very healthy indeed Sandra ... I lost my one last year to the frost and snow.....

i lost a few too Louis.....i have been much more prepared this year and all mine bar one are tucked up the one outside is just tooo big soo fingers crossed for the poor thing...
