Agave salmiana var.ferox
I have so many things that I should have been doing today in the garden , like potting on my courgette and tomato seedlings , but I had one thing on my mind and that was a nasty bramble that was coming up through the bottom of my gorgeous Agave .Can you see it ? Ugh ...it was going to be a horrible tortuous job !
I got down on my kneeler and pulled away the slabs of rock and slate that I have arranged around it's base which direct the rain away from it's roots . Delighted to find a couple of offshoots 😃 !
I pulled away the old rotten leaves .....ouch ...ouch...ouch !
.....and squeals of delight , found even more pups !
All of a sudden it is not such a horrible job after all .
Now feeling very pleased with myself and I got that bramble out !
Whoo hoo ! Very ,very happy me !
Off up to the shed . They all had a couple of roots and the pale ones will soon green up .
I got them all potted up .
.............and one in a hanging basket !
Agave salmiana var.ferox .......in my opinion the best one !
Oh I so love your Agave, dear Daisy!
ReplyDeleteYou have to know that I'm a lover of succulents plants. Here we cannot grow such plants outside given the cold of the Winter, but I have my Winter Garden at home filled with them: they're not so healthy as yours, although I keep them outside during the good season, of course growing in the ground is another thing!
Have a blessed new week

Hello Dany 💐I find succulents are the most fascinating plants of all . We too have to give them some shelter/protection through the winter . The flower of the Agave is a magnificent sight to see ! 🦋🌞
DeleteWell doen on tackling te brambke - not a task for the faint hearted . Still you were rewarded elsewhere
ReplyDeleteHi Sue 💐 We had a couple of very warm days and I have done a lot . I also got a first planting of Brussels sprouts done .Crawling about on my hands and knees and bending and twisting to throw the netting over it all ...groan ! Knees are in quite a bit of discomfort , need to rest up for day or two again . Got to pace ourselves haven't we ? ! It will be worth it though .🌞🦋
