Planted out some opuntia, agave havardiana and tricho at the bed by the road. Everything here must be xeric cause the hose doesn't reach.

Will be interesting to see if agave albopilosa will survive my winter.

This asperrima x salmiana has doubled in size since April. Almost tempted to leave it in the ground overwinter.

Hi Chadec, Good adjustment to the collection!

Thanks guys,

Jim, was checking out several agave at PDN last week that they had planted in beds other than their rock gardens, couldn't help but notice how much mulch was packed around them. Amazing too to see cacti and agave growing in shaded areas.

Igor, I cannot show everything in a single post. I have several other new agaves in the ground. Some not so hardy, but we'll see.

Thanks Aaron,
Just hoping a lot of these are really hardy and actually survive long term.
