Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Aaron,
Couldn't tell if you used frost cloth or plastic (old eyes...)
That y.angustissima has sure performed well for you!
It seems to not be affected at all by cold winters with little snow.
My y.filamentosa are still damaged from last winter.
Cool wildlife pillars...I can see you joining them with your metal work into an arch or two.
No snow at all yet?

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Just plastic
And yes I would love to do something like that with metal. 8)

Aaron nice pics. Is this the first year you have protected your Yuccas? I don`t remember you having any protection before.

I like the angustissima. A really underused species. I'd like to try some here in the east. Given their native range, I'd expect they should be similar to Y. glauca in hardiness (the real question is how they will deal with our moisture... If they're anything like baccata, It'll be a struggle!)
Thanks for the link!

That is a good Q, because mine are in very good drainage. It is always hard for me to guess how things will do back east. 🙄 But it would be worth a try. 😉

In some ways yes.
I almost always protect very small plants or yuccas like mohave and faxon yuccas, but when most get bigger I leave them be. That worked well until last winter and so I thought I would help some of the worst hit yuccas and ones I moved last summer.
So yes this year I have more yuccas covered. 😉
PS I also covered my agave X that lived through last winter, I thought it might look better next year if I did. 😆

Thanks Jim. 😀
I always think about the people that thought I could do nothing with all that rock in the yard. I just laugh becuase that is why I liked it so much. 😆

all that rock in the yard.
H is "with you", he's a rock nut too, loves building rock walls.
Well I suppose I don't have to explain, do I? 😆
Seems every other house in our area is ripping up their lawns and replacing with rock and "xeriscape" plants because of high cost of water.
You're way ahead of folks!

Yes, now I know what you were talking about!
Aaron! Great Stones! Remind some of our landscapes! Enclosures are nice and artistic too!
