Like you, I fell hard for agaves while reading a blog (Tom Spencer's Soul of the Garden), and the love of the spiky plant has only increased since then. It's cool to see how you're able to make them work in your northern garden.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-10168241382109263102013-09-30T20:50:48.049-04:002013-09-30T20:50:48.049-04:00Hi, Kylee!

You're right - Pam has enabled many a gardener in the ways of agaves!<br /><br /><b>Alison ~ </b>If that agave ever gets to be the size of those in the Ruth Bancroft garden, we'll have to build it its own greenhouse! LOL! Good idea, about the corks! That's what I'm going to do while it's in the house.

If you're really worried about the poky tips, you can stick wine corks on them to make them somewhat less lethal.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-87177243160144736742013-09-28T16:29:34.060-04:002013-09-28T16:29:34.060-04:00That is one huge agave.

Here there was a man that pulled his out of the ground and just laid it on it's side all winter. He did that for years until he got too old to handle it and he left it outside which of course led to it's demise. I blame Pam for my agave/succulent love too. The succulent merchants must love her as she spreads the word.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
