Agave Christmas Tree/Wreath

 Both 'Medusa's finally in the ground.  There's one.

 This summer's and fall's purchases are finally in the ground.  'Meyer' lemon, two Grevillea nudiflora 'Medusa',  Salvia 'Celestial Blue', Leucadendron 'Chief', Protea 'Clair', Leucospermum 'Blanche Ito'. 

'Clair' went to  the right of 'Celestial Blue' and behind a 'Sunset Gold' Coleonema that has struggled to establish.  Yes, everything is too close together.  I moved 'Celestial Blue' several feet to the right of 'Clair.  A little better now.  

 The veggie raised bed stuffed full of Agave 'Blue Glow' offsets is emptied: many given away, four planted near the oak tree.  

Nothing motivates planting like impending rain.  It enlivens the gardener as much as it does the garden. 

There it falls!

While rain fell, under shelter there was time to set up an Agave Christmas tree:

Then, in the night, a crash.  Uh-oh. 

There it falls:

My error.  pot too small, not enough rocks.  

It's okay.  Try again.  Bigger, heavier pot, more rocks (even though I couldn't lift the pot--the rocks filling it were indeed heavy--just not heavy enough.  What about a wreath instead?

Hmmm.  Needs work. 

  It's Christmas Eve. Remember to relax.  Relaxation inspiration provided by Natasha:

We hope your holidays are happy ones.
