Oooh, I can make myself some agave rope and turn it into rope, and make myself a rug! I just need to roast the agave leaves over a fire.... (or I suppose I could throw them in the BBQ)

Oooh! Found a use for the blue agave leaves off my (enormous) agave out back. Anyone want to pit roast a goat?!?

(or, I could dry the leaves and make myself agave leaf clothing... 🤔 )

LA Times: SoCal agave owners have been hacked. What are thieves doing with those filched leaves? (paywall)

He suspects, however, that the leaves from the plants in the moderately wealthy suburb are being harvested for use in cooking barbacoa, a traditional Mexican dish of slow-cooked, chile-infused goat, beef or lamb, generally.

The barbacoa meat can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, though most commonly in tacos.

Often the meats are wrapped in agave leaves and cooked in underground ovens, though some pitmasters substitute banana leaves.

A joy of keeping a Perpetual Journal is seeing what was going on this same week in previous years. Here’s my PJ showing my art of nature observations from my Tucson AZ yard 1, 2 & 3 years ago this week: Desert Willow leaves (currently green); Desert Broom seeds & Agave (same as previous).

Indoor rack has reached its final form (probably)

I upgraded the middle shelf to 65W Brim Panel As. The top shelf is already 65W, and the bottom shelf has plants like haworthias that don’t like too much light, so it will stay on 45W.

All of the panels stronger than 65W that I’ve seen have the LED driver stuck to the top of the panel, so I wouldn’t be able to fit them in here like this.

Thus: final form achieved

Today I made a monkey fist knot, I find it in this book

Maybe knots and this book can help Gaza, me I use them all the time!

I didn't know coffee has this meaning in your country.

I hope you will have great coffeemakers again.

Sisal monkey fist knot on its corresponding page on Ashley book of knots.

This Agave horrida keeps getting this brown discoloration and I’m not sure why. If it was a disease or fungus I think it would have spread to other plants, but it hasn’t.

I’ve tried to be more consistent with watering and the newer leaves don’t seem affected (yet) so maybe I wasn’t watering enough?

My big outdoor agaves are looking pretty good 👍

Also this Agave titanota variety called Kabigon (the Pokemon known as Snorlax in English).

Look at this absolute unit 😄

It’s already got some roots coming so I potted it up in something I made at a pottery class.

The image features a close-up view of a vibrant green and yellow agave plant, positioned in front of a textured, light-colored stone wall. The agave's leaves radiate outwards in a starburst pattern, displaying a striking color gradient from pale yellow at the tips to a deeper, rich green closer to the center. Darker foliage is visible to the left of the main plant, adding depth to the composition. The ground surrounding the agave is covered in small stones and appears to be a garden bed. The overall lighting creates strong contrast, highlighting the plant’s texture and the wall’s surface.

An #interview with my friend and neighbor, #AnnaBruce, about her new #book about #agave #spirits. If you are interested in #mezcal, #bacanora, #sotol, #raicilla, and #tequila, this is a great book. Bonus, there is a photo of me in it.

#agave inflorescence

Winter temperatures are creeping in, but the soft greens and sunlit edges of this agave bring the warmth of summer back to life. Nature’s geometry and subtle color shifts remind us that even in colder months, there’s still heat in the details.
