Montana lost its meristem. Talking with Tony Advent this agave was dead, but I didnt give up on it.

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.

Removed a tree to allow for sun light on the bed.

This salimiana has already doubled in size since planting in Feb.

These beds are raised 4" off the ground. Not everything is hardy so I am testing the microclimate.

IN THE EVENT OF DISASTER
IN THE EVENT OF DISASTER-amass Agave for food/nectar.
nevermind Chad you have it covered
Really nice collection and we get to call
that Montana hardy now since you had the
sense to wait and give it a chance....
I am guessing you still have plenty of room
so it was never in danger of its spot being recycled
I know sometimes I almost dare some of my plants
to kark it cuz there is a special replacement waiting...
Garden looks great-hows the Black Thai doing this year?

Jim, that damn black Thai did great all winter and laid down as soon as I put it in the ground. It is planted between the cannas and the brugsmania.
Besides, your right I have 3 more agave montana ready to go. And soooo many more that just dont have a home yet. Some are too special, like these.
Agave impressa, victoria reginea white rhino, albopilosa, pilona, cubic.

Most of these just need a home.

Added a new aloe to the test bed today. Agave colorata does not appear to handle the sun very well.
Sorry I know some of the pics are fuzzy.

Not sure about my ovatifolia variegata, but since I have an extra now I would like to try one in the ground.

This is a "cool" picture...it shows the plant pulling its sugars/carbs back into
the center to protect the growth point -whilst the more narrow and obviously
much quicker to freeze leaf points take a hit from the cold.
