Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I still can't believe rain killed your agave. How does that work? Have you gotten the seeds I sent you to germinate yet?

The agave was cover except for the top, the rain water poured down the center of the plant and did not dry out and the plant got bacterial rot.

I did and thank you, but with my new baby it has be hard to get my life back in order. :wink: :x

Aaron, great teaser heading :lol: :lol:

Incredible how much is blooming at your place.
Wild sunflowers on the hills have bloomed here, plus fruit trees etc.
Lupins are late.
Love your mustard, wow.

Great photos, especially of that beautiful future President.

Your yard and plants look great. Probably all thanks to your assistant.lol Hate that for your agaves. Moisture has always been a bigger problem for me with agaves than with cacti. I am really surprised my neomexicano survived.
