Agave sp.
AGAVACEAE, The Agave family
Agaves sure are popular nowadays. Just look in any horticulture or design magazine and you’ll see them in every issue. They deserve the attention.
Happy Thanksgiving:
Michael and I are in New Mexico, celebrating a (mostly) vegetarian “turkey day”: Anne made mushroom wildrice soup, tamales, and amazing apple-carrot-nut spice cake with goat cheese frosting. We brought a cranberry bread that turned out very delicious. It’s something my mom made when I was growing up. It has orange juice and zest in it, plus walnuts. Mmm.
Thankful for:
Being less afraid about everything in life
Friends, family and collegues with kind and supportive advice
Finally finding the place where rock mulch looks natural and makes sense
