Latest addition to my #perrenialgarden -- 2 agaves! Got them free from a friend. They have some food, fiber, and medicinal uses, but mostly I planted them because I like the way they look. BTW, this is not the kind usually used to make tequila, though it does produce a sap you can ferment. This is Agave americana. The tequila kind is Agave tequilana, aka blue agave. #agave #agaveamericana #centuryplant #permaculture #gardening #rgv #lrgv #xeriscaping
