Re: Arid bed winter shelter

Re: Arid bed winter shelter

So I’ll be doing the in/out dance next weekend, and building the shelter I've been gifted some polycarbonate sheeting, so the roof will be upgraded. To give people an idea, this was my shelter ove...

Re: Agave talk & pictures

Talking of Agaves, my hybrid Agave bought from The Palm Centre 🌴 is still a mystery, but one beautiful Agave Sold as ovatifolia, obviously not, Italian nursery grown. Im only guessing, but parrasana in the mix? The spines are beautiful 😍 PXL_20230923_152807387.jpg PXL_20230923_121937793.jpg Wayne

Re: Agave talk & pictures

You're right Tina, I'm running 🏃‍♂️ out of space, I have to get creative, 😆

I might get some more steel rings in the future, really functional for ready made plunge bed's.
My ovatifolia and parryi are doing well in them.

Re: Agave talk & pictures

I bought one of these from ebay, as its such a interesting cross, and it's blue 💙

Win ! Win! Got to admit I'd like some more seedlings, for variation.

Agave Seastar, has put on some good growth after spending some time outside.

And my variegated parrasana, unsure if definitely Fireball, is looking quite majestic.
