The aisles are narrow and it was crowded, both with people and plants. I'm sure it's full of treasures...Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-78504836244477501532014-02-13T08:41:18.170-08:002014-02-13T08:41:18.170-08:00Candy, less than two months until the spring plant...Candy, less than two months until the spring plant sale. To get you in the mood, check out <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ruthbancroftgarden/sets/" rel="nofollow">these photos</a> by the Ruth Bancroft Garden staff: Lots in bloom in April!<br /><br />Cutting off dead leaf tips did come up in relation to agaves but it should be the same for aloes. There's nothing wrong with it. Brian said that they do it on specimen plants but it would take too long to do it to all the plants.

They are great group of plants with most having so much architectural merit. So lucky to be able to go to this special valentine tour!<br /><br />Also if you encounter an Aloe 'Hercules', a small one in one of your nursery visit please keep us in mind, it's been on our wishlist for a long time :)Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-37830224333882631892014-02-12T21:34:45.786-08:002014-02-12T21:34:45.786-08:00And I thought it was stressful to try and keep the...And I thought it was stressful to try and keep the plants in my garden looking good!

I have a couple like that and I did. Just trying to make them look a bit better.Candice Suter.....Sweetstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439964856042558664noreply@blogger.com
