Before anyone asks if I have a Bulldog, no. The Bulldog is the mascot of my alma mater, The University of Georgia. The rope is tied to my trailer hitch-I pulled the Jeep into the garage and the offending Agave popped out. The other plant is a Firesticks Pencil Cactus, easily removed.
Success!
These days my side door is Agave free. I have thornless Desert Roses (Adenium obesum) in these pots underplanted with Flapjack Kalachoe and Fireball Bromeliads. The Roses flower in summer and look funky year round.

Well, I guess that did the trick. I like that desert rose, it is a funky plant.

Yes, they are funky and the trunks get bigger and weirder as they grow old.

That sorted it! I love the look of agave but having seen what beasts they can become I don’t think I’d have one anywhere other than here where the wether keeps them in check

Indeed, there is one called a Foxtail that is thornless. That is the only one I would add.

Gee, they are not ‘that’ difficult to handle. You could clip the spines off to make it easier to work with.

We have desert roses here too. Being allergic to something is difficult, but if we come to =know what we are allergic to, it helps. Regards

Where are you? It’s a good thing to know allergies. No more Agaves for me.
