Now,we have reached a solid spring.

We have now left the nighttime lows of 30’s (0 to 4C) and enjoy a slight warm up in days…we still are having spring rains. I can never complain about water.
I’m looking to make some changes…the big Agave has outgrown its spot. I’m tired of the look of half the leaves pruned off. I planted that as a pup in 1995. Enjoyed it long enough!
I have some large potted plants..maybe put one or more in there.
As long as I’ve been at this..I expect a little more exotic then ever before. Its a balance as my small front yard is not protected by a fence. Its where the spines and thorns of dry plants come in handy for defense.

Haha, you'll have fun digging out that Agave...Perhaps you can find somebody to give it to?

God no!...Its 2 meters to the top leaf and around. Its going to have to be done in stages..remove all leafs,cut into the heart..maybe chainsaw..but I worry about the spray from the chainsaw. Agave juice on delicate parts of the skin can burn like a lit fire. I once got some on my inner upper bicep ( triceps?) and it made the skin look burned..hurt for days.
25 years is enough. It wont change in looks or size. Time for something much more exotic. It also has a prime spot in my front yard.
Nice today. Around the 21C range. Again,nothing to remind of tropical..just good for people.

I can never understand why Americans call a garden a
yard. How did this custom start ?
Also a dishcloth used to wash up, they call a kitchen rag.

better not start looking at the English language Diane its a mine field. :o))
Good luck with that one Stan and yes the muscle that runs up the back of your arm/biceps is the triceps.
plant juices can be really nasty, most milky saps/latex cause burns too especially when exposed to sunlight.
I think I'd pay someone else to take the risks in its removal.

I wonder too how quickly Americans lost the English accent and came up with what we have?-- And what we have? Where did THAT come from? Australians kept their English roots over the same time.

I think the English language is wonderful Sbg.
Especially the way H.M.The Queen speaks it.
