Very beautiful, kindredspirit, but I suspect many of us are wary of being too adventurous after this winter's losses. I'm suddenly noticing the words "Fully Hardy" on plant labels much more than I ever did before ! |

Sive,
I know.
I lost ALL my Agaves this winter but I won't be beaten! I have a cunning plan.
I'll let you know in in a few months, but I'll get Agaves growing successfully in our climate. You just have to think differently.  _________________ .

I admire your energy. I'm a lazy gardener, I like to work with nature and have her on my side !
I sometimes wonder is it a male thing to want to grow exotic plants ? Do women go for the jungle look ?
Maybe there is a Tarzan lurking in many a male chest ! |

I know you are right about growing new species and unusual plants and shrubs, but this year I was thinking of sticking to the reliable and trustworthy. I know what will be successful in my garden and and I was thinking of sticking with it this year. Like sive I vere towards mother nature and grow things that encourage bees, and all sorts of insects, and wildlife. I even like the slugs, as I know the birdlife seem to enjoy eating them.
Although I also cover the veggie patch with seaweed that discourages the slugs from eating the plants. I will look up the link as i do have a space or two empty due to frost damage, and one spot is particularly sunny and sheltered.
Thanks for the making me move out of my comfort zone. |
