How tall are your blooming agaves?
This is my front yard in Punta Banda. Checkout the blooming agaves on right side in back:

.....I thought I had the best landscaped yard in Baja 
What a great area you have designed!
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Right between the Goal Posts is Ensenada. There's a lot to see over there on a clear day and at night, the city lights are a good picture.
Bob took these shots on a particularly foggy day.

So...you are saying that DENNIS is your gardener? :-)
I know you spent hundreds of hours on that living canvas.

Nah.....not me, Deno, but we do hire the same man. He does more in four hours than I could do in a month.....even when I was in one piece.

Judging from that wire I see in the photo.....you guys have a drop off cliff right there?
As I told you before DENNIS.....you got one of the best locations of Baja.

THe Bufadora road is right below the Agaves and on the other side of the road the land falls off to the water.
This will give you a better picture of what I'm saying:

DENNIS email me a $ number. I have a cousin that was just talking to me about him and several buddies looking for a Baja place. They currently have a
nest in Rio Hardy and another Baja location.

Fabulous garden! Congratulations on the fruits of your hard work.
Curious—what is the low wire by the agaves? Some sort of
alarm wire?

When I first bought the place there was a problem with stray cattle and horses coming in and eating plants so an electric fence was installed. No
longer a problem; just haven't taken it down.

Oh! Hell we got the same issues here on the farm. The 3 horses will eat and trample everything you love :-) They leave the stuff we hate... alone :-)
DENNIS.....There is a letter in your u2.

What a grand garden and view, Robert.
On the question about blooming agaves, I'm no help. The only "bloomin' agaves" I have are contained in glass and not very tall. Their "blossoms",
however, are gloriously rewarding. Wonderful bouquet, too. They would most certainly enhance the view asea from your garden.

The grass is always greener....

That's why they are called Century
Plants. According to my neighbor mine last bloomed 20+ years ago. The ones you see now are babies from the last bloom.

PS: Once the stalk started growing it took over 2 months to reach full height and develope the blooms.
