So here is whats in the bed so far:
Agave Americana
Agave Americana var. marginata
Agave Salmiana "Green goblet"
Agave (unknown cultivar)
Echinocactus grusonii
euphorbia candelabrum
Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue'
Miscanthus sinensis "Dixieland"
Myrtillocactus geometrizans
Opuntia (unknown cultivar)
Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum
Salvia guaranitica 'Black and Blue
Salvia "Mystic Spires"
Salvia Nemorosa var "East Friesland"
Trachycarpus fortunei
Washingtonia Robusta
Yucca Filamentosa var "Colour Guard"
Yucca Rostrata
I have a couple more things to put in but this is definitely 90% The really tender stuff was buried in pots and I can easily bring them in for the winter. The Washingtonia got left outside very under protected and saw -8c and most of the spear was killed its just starting to get back on track hopefully it will push a couple full fronds before the summer is over it was in a bit of a roll for a few weeks but its certainly slowed down during the past couple of weeks.

Hi, how is your bed? What plants do you still have there?

All of them plus some more. But the less hardy stuff gets dug up or some of the cacti I bury the pot and bring them inside for the winter.

Looks good-great that you allowed some space for growth.

Looks good, great choice with salmiana should be hardy to around 5 degrees F. Cant wait to see how it grows in.
