I've been planting my chartreuse strawberry pots with agaves and succulents since I bought them back in 2014. ![]()
This particular combo has been in place for at least a couple of years.

I laughed when I pulled it out of the shade pavilion greenhouse a couple of weeks ago and noticed an agave pup had pushed up out of one of the pockets, forcing out the sempervivum that had been growing there. Well, I'm not laughing anymore.

I guess I'd better think about pulling out that agave before it happens again.

Funny, I just planted the top of the second pot with a random agave last week.

Since this one pups a lot (I think it's an Agave lophantha 'Splendida', just a little sickly looking) I'd better not leave it in there too long either.

So there you have it. What's good for the strawberry is in fact not good for the agave...

(my umbrella was out to give me shade while repotting in the driveway, it's still sunny and warm here)
