Fabulous! When I think back to these Sandra, my Spanish garden had them everywhere and before we had guests, I would cut all the sharp points off for safety. As they grew larger and the lower leaves would dry off, I would slice them off and then shape them like a pineapple with the leaves on top. This way there was still room round the agaves for the pups to grow and to move them, or else plant other things.

I have thought about cutting the sharp bits off Janey. I was worried they wouldn't like it. They are soo dangerous with the dogs....maybe i will now you have said..
thanks Dd2..

Sandra:

If you cut the points off it doesn't hurt the plant at all.

You know this plant here grows wild everywhere.

You're welcome. :>)

Many of the Agave plants here are starting to bloom. The weather this January, like last January has been unusually warm (soon we won't have a winter).

I will post some photos soon.
