Very nice Josef! I have a few of them myself but not as developed as yours, some even seedlings. I like these Agave since they are almost maintenance free.

Cheers. Barrie.

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.

...you should've seen the first version :lol: :lol: :lol: (got the "from" language wrong!)

If I lived next door to Josef, I would just plunk a chair at the fence, with a beverage on the table beside me, and marvel at his plants.
I would not grow any palms or yuccas or cycads myself.

Hi Josef!
I see you have left some of the yuccas potted in the ground. Do you take them to a shelter in winter or cover them somehow?
