Thought I'd post a few pics of some of my variegated Agave's, they are on my desktop after a recent Facebook post, no one on here will have seen them, so enjoy!

Showing my ignorance this my not even be one, but I was given this earlier in the year, since then the new kittens have taken to pulling out plant labels and chewing them up

At last I've decided where I want to plant my Agave Americana, but after starting to dig I came across the remainder of an old wall. I'm still digging out bits of stone and trying to get a decent sized hole, just how deep do the roots go on Agaves or do they spread out? I'm down just over 1ft.

For years I have removed the needle-like tips from Agaves on the basis that they are a safety hazard - not only the sharpness but the irritant nature of the residual puncture which can last for weeks. However I've never liked mutilating plants like this. Having a wander round the local streets with ...

I am hoping some one can help me here? Due to the constant vandalism to my 4 foot agave i may have to move it from its place by an outside wall. This plant is about 15 years old and is constantly being slashed by someone with a knife. I have decided to move it to ...
