How lucky! My Arizona brother’s agaves are producing pups and the danger garden is the very happy recipient of an entire box full, thanks Darin! The only thing that could have made this delivery better would have been for his cute agave harvesting assistant (my nephew) to pull up to my door with his wheelbarrow full!
Darin has gifted me a couple of pups in the past which I’ve planted in a protected area. While they haven’t flourished (to say the least), they also haven’t died. This relative success has me wanting to try other spots around the garden, and now I am rich with agave pups! Some in the ground and some in pots…if only they could grow up to look like their mom and siblings…

Perfect! And in a bright green bag, no less.
ReplyDeleteAgaves are such handsome plants. I'll look forward to hearing how they do in your alternate garden locations.
Even if the pups grew up to look like your nephew, you'd be doing well. He's a strapping young day-laborer.
ReplyDeleteNice. I too have agave pups of various sizes around the yard. Sometimes they sure are slow. Apparently the first ones off the plant are the most vigorous.
ReplyDeleteJane - yes I was wondering if my bro selected the bag on purpose...knowing that green is (of course) my favorite color. I'll keep you updated!
ReplyDeleteJim - I hear he puts in a good day's work, even brings his own tools. And all for hot-wheels!
Ryan - I hadn't heard that, I guess that makes sense though, next time I'll get in my request early!
Hi, incidently I have recently posted about my agave in my blog ;-)The colours of this agave looks like one of my mother-in-law tongue plant. Your nephew looks like he enjoyed gardening with you. Found you through Blotanical. Have a great evening!
ReplyDeleteWow, lucky you! It helps to have family in warm places. You're rich with agaves. I love the variegated ones.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie - I will have to check out your blog! Unfortunately my nephew was gardening for me, but not with me. He's hundreds of miles away in Arizona and I'm in Portland, Oregon. To far!
ReplyDeleteMegan - you are so right! I need to get down there soon for a visit too, it has been to long...
your nephew is too cute with his wheelbarrow. love it.
ReplyDeleteJosie...my thoughts exactly! Like I said, I wish he had delivered the agave rather than the post man...
