Hello from Texas!
I love gardening! I have a beautiful greenhouse. Agaves are my love! I just started growing Red Yuccas from seed. I love succulents. My head is always focused on landscapes and plants wherever I go.

Re: Hello from Texas!
Yes, I do. Here's 2 of my Agaves (Manfreda) that are blooming for the first time!
We are getting ready to do the landscaping around the greenhouse.
Pic of my front yard landscape as well.

Re: Hello from Texas!
At least no vultures circling.
Aren't those big beautiful plants mangave and not manfreda, unless you have access to some big exotic manfreda species down there?

Not a Texan, but down there they have the common turkey vulture and the eastern 2/3 of the state is in the range of the black vulture which has a reputation for not waiting for its food to die first.

Yes, we have Vultures. Here is a pic of the annual Shareholders meeting.
And the pup is fine. He loves the warmth of the bricks.

Re: Hello from Texas!
Oh thank you! It's my first Spring with the greenhouse. I have a little bit of everything in there. A lot of hanging plants. It's a cozy place, bright and sunny when it's cold and windy out.
