my agave plantation

Two years ago around this time, the CaboMistress and I were in our local home depot buying Sammy Knows What for the house and we walked past the garden section. They had some cactii out and other succulents and then I noticed this sad looking thing...but, it was an AGAVE plant! I had to rescue it.

honestly, i thought it would last a couple months and we'd be like "well, that was cool while it lasted, a real life agave plant."

Here's a picture of it:


pretty bad. now, we live in the northeast...not exactly the native climate for agave. It gets about 3 months outside in the sun and heat, but for 9 months out of the year it's inside, gets little sun, even less water, yet this thing is thriving! Lord Sammy works in mysterious ways. Here's a pic of it now:



Now, this is pretty cool, but I'm not sure how much tequila I can make from one agave plant. But, I was looking at it yesterday and noticed that two NEW agave plants had sprouted!

Thank you Lord Sammy!!!! You have given me the opportunity to live out my life long dream of becoming a jimador!
