A water wise Container from my home

I have a spot on my porch, that the hose just doesn't reach, and I've
gotten a bit lazy, and don't want to water it either.

This year I planted this container with Agave 'desmettiana variegata'
and the Sedum rupestre Angelina. The Agave is the taller upright
plant. For those that don't know, Agave's are extremely tolerant of
dry conditions. They are also the primary ingredient for Tequila. (But
I've never heard of anyone actually making their own)

The Sedum is a new variety from Proven Winners.
Both are extremely drought tolerant. I have not watered this container
once since I planted it in mid-May. It has been perfectly fine with
the natural rainfall.
