Anyway, site still matters, obviously, even in that climate. Funny agave sighting! I know, I still have hundreds of photos from my SF trip this past summer that I still need to sift through and post some of. Maybe you'll beat me to it and save me the trouble! :) Glad you had a great trip, and I admit I am exhausted just looking at that itinerary. You are an energetic marvel!Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-23329327250862675292009-10-27T13:06:25.988-07:002009-10-27T13:06:25.988-07:00MTJulie, lucky you!

I am jealous of your climate.<br /><br />D+N, you aren't planning any vacations anytime soon, are you?<br /><br />Jane, I am jealous, where are you headed? Have a wonderful time! I'll be checking in with you after the 101st agave picture I post to see if you are still interested.<br /><br />ricki, I hope I can live up to that billing.<br /><br />For you Pam, no holding back...I promise.<br /><br />Nicole, we didn't see as many blooms as you did at the SF Botanical Garden (wrong time of the year)...but enjoyed it just the same.<br /><br />Grace, all was fine at home, thank you for asking. Actually compared to others that we saw later that agave looked positively loved. There were so many that I wanted to proclaim "rescued" and tear out of peoples (or more often businesses) plantings. My husband kept reminding me that was called "stealing". He can be such a spoil sport.<br /><br />Megan, I took a few things back outside, but after being inside for 2 weeks I figured most of them had made the adjustment and why thrust them back out into the cold. Andrew was unfamiliar with how grand tree ferns can be, he was in love with the huge ones at Golden Gate Park. If I keep reminding him of them maybe my plan (to move) just might work!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-90480361037509016532009-10-27T08:32:34.748-07:002009-10-27T08:32:34.748-07:00That night they predicted the big freeze, I rushed...That night they predicted the big freeze, I rushed around repotting and relocating the tender stuff. It only got down to 38. I moved everything back out a few days later, waiting for the next threatened freeze. <br />I could see California agreeing with you. The sun, the climate that makes growing the plants you love a much less complicated affair. I love the Portland climate, but tree ferns are a plant that make me want to relocate. Can't wait to see all your pictures.

And that poor Agave in a bucket. Were you tempted to take [rescue] it?
