    Awesome video guys - Thank you for showing us Sue's extraordinary garden!! Eagerly looking forward to the aloe segment Yay. Had to laugh about the petunias - so true though what a good way to look at losing an Agave.

    I saw a large pair of agave planted either side of the stepped entrance to a temple in Bali. To avert wounding visitors with its stiffly projecting leaves, the large vicious spike at the end of each leaf was covered with a white egg . A user friendly spectacularly decorative sight.

      depends on where you are as to the best way of growing Avocados. They need shelter from strong winds, a moist but never wet soil and usually two different forms for cross pollination. Regards Stephen

      @@thehorti-culturalists thank you for your reply, my latest attempt has me trying a water tank cut in half with the best soil I could buy about 90cm high far away from clay and I build a shade house over the tanks. I’m determined to grow them now cause iv failed so many times 🤣. Big collector of proteas/banksias as well👍. I enjoyed your show about eucalyptus as well as I have a great macrocarpa that is probably my favourite plant.

    Steven, I love what you do and your unlimited knowledge of plants but you are so wrong on the way you pronounce agave. No one in the US or Mexico does it that way. You assumed wright in pronouncing the the latter version, unless you live Down Under. Saying that here would invoke some smiles by us desert rats. I should know, looking out my window at my front yard in the great Sonoran Desert of Phoenix, Arizona loaded with them. Defer to the way it is said by your faithful sidekick.

      Pronunciation varies around the world and I often laugh at how some Americans pronounce the names of some of our natives. As I say to many people it is a written language and the way it is pronounced was invented by medieval priests. If an Ancient Roman was to came back he wouldn't be able to pronounce them either. The name derives from the Greek however, Agaue one of the daughters of Cadmus in Greek mythology and means illustrious. So now it is as clear as mud. Regards Stephen
