PUSHING THE BORDERS

It's been a while, so I thought I'd share some pics from my garden last summer, here on the North coast of Ireland.

Some succulents live outdoors year round, while others are temporary summer residents.

intriguing mixture of plants (and nice to hear from you again!)

Hi Conrad, I like your paving, it does set off the succulents very well.
Which of your Agaves are you able to leave in the ground permanently?

Class. Love the way you have used the sawfish saws! Are they real?

Thanks Charlie, I like to mix things together!

A truly beautiful garden Conrad.

Your Mangave look pristine. I have succeeded in killing every single one of the many different varieties I have tried. The ones that scraped through winter in the cold frame were reduced to a couple of leaves, and they were soon polished off by slugs and snails.

Lovely display.

Nice looking garden you have there.

This is their first year out over winter, but so far, things are looking quite good.
So far I've got montana, ovatifolia, gentryi 'Jaws', parrasana (possibly 'Meat Claw') and another whose name completely escapes me at the moment.

They are metal Paul, found in the TK Maxx bargain bin!!
