Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

Agave in Vacation House Garden

Agave at Vacation House
May 19, 2010

There is a large cactus with a few baby cacti in the front garden of our vacation home.  It is an Agave that I think is Agave guiengola from the descriptions I found.  The leaves are thick, broad and triangular forming a rossette.  They have a bluish powder that gives the leaves a pale greenish grey colour.  The leaves have marginal spines that are quite small. 

Happy Gardening!

    Hi Aries, the cactus looks so much like the Agave pictures I found and not so much like the Aloe vera. I will have to ask around and confirm as to exactly what this cactus is.
