The Agaves are not near a heat source, just underneath an overhang so they stay relatively dry. I still have A. ovatifolia, A. americana and A. salmiana outside. The coldest it's been so far is about 20 or 21F. I will probably haul the americana into the garage if it gets to 15F. The older leaves on A. americana have suffered, but the rest appear undamaged. Yucca rostrata is completely exposed and looks perfect. I haven't ever sniffed the Crass, I will let you know :-) x

How often should i water in a greenhouse in winter and how often should i water a saguaro in winter il live in Houston

Pressure test only is $100. Still can't decide what to do. House is in pretty good shape. Fairly new kitchen cabs and appliances and bathrooms not too old. Furnace is from Oct 2011, so still under warranty. It really only needs a new window and upstairs carpet. There is hardwood hiding under the carpet up there. I think it will pass the plumbing inspection, but I wonder if it would be good for peace of mind. My son, who is buying it, is not keen on spending more $ for the plumber. The closing costs are ridiculous as it is

Brian my buddy!! If I was there I would give you a big ole Christmas hug! Did I ever tell you how much you mean to me, my mother and many others? You do and I appreciate all you do here, your friendship and your kindness...You are the perfect example of the reason I keep coming back and what makes coming here enjoyable..I am so glad you never left and continue to share your prize winning trees and fruit. Please give Sugar a hug for me and much love from us here at my household. By the way, what great bunch looking of fruit! Are they worth getting even for me who can not eat acidic fruits? Are they sweet without the acidic content? I can actually eat Kishu maderines without any problems at all. By the way, it's -3 today on my thermometer and it's only going to get colder. Thank GOD for my thermometer alert that lets me know once the temps drop down to a certain temp down there remotely on my cell phone. I got beeped this a.m so I had to turn the second space heater on. It dropped to 50 degrees this morning in there. Hugs buddy Mike
