And although opuntias wouldn't be my first choice for a parking strip, they do work well as a deterrent. I have variegated yucca on my parking strip and by the end of winter it looks rather shabby. Considering the nasty freeze you had in the South Sound, I'm astonished at how perfect it looks!chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-17584233487882922982014-02-25T06:58:31.082-08:002014-02-25T06:58:31.082-08:00It's great to have an indulgent partner, isn&#...It's great to have an indulgent partner, isn't it?
