I'd despaired of our agave ever sprouting babies. I'd seen agaves with pups galore along the high streets of some of our local suburbs but there was no sign at all of any appearing in our garden. Then the agaves had a year of maltreatment - hidden under the scaffolding then badly knocked by the digger building our deck.
And lo and behold! Babies emerged from the undergrowth just a few weeks later. Success! I think I'll leave them in place to fill out the border and deter the chickens from using it as a dust bath. But if they just keep coming, I'll be keen to work out how to propagate them and populate other beds around our property.
