No...Hey Tim, you realize this post is from 2010 ya? Not our epic wet 2015/16 winter. Although to be honest I don't remember how much moisture we had that winter, certainly not the record setting numbers we're experiencing now. Although of course that winter was very cold and this one has been warm. Anyway...I have many more Agaves in the ground now and most of them are doing okay. There's been a learning curve for sure!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-10022455919365166772016-01-28T14:58:55.482-08:002016-01-28T14:58:55.482-08:00I think the rain/moisture played a big role.

I figure we've got to have a warm winter sometime right?<br /><br />Megan, that weather was a 20 year anomaly. Hopefully never to be seen again in my lifetime. But you are right, I need a rich relative who owns a house in Santa Barbara.<br /><br />Nature Assassin, you are right of course. No sissy agaves need apply.<br /><br />Laura, more rocks is always a good thing. I think on our 4th delivery (dumped in the street) our neighbors decided we were crazy.<br /><br />Pam, next year will be better, right?danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-7773835335595009682010-06-18T20:18:56.521-07:002010-06-18T20:18:56.521-07:00Yea for survivors!

Three cheers for Mr. Big. One of my treasures is a tiny pup of an americana with the reverse striation, yellow in the middle, green on the edges. The photo of Baccarat is heartbreaking. "It just all happened so fast," sounds like narrating a crime scene.Denisenoreply@blogger.com
