If true, it looks like I might be able to get away with a couple in ground... But it's still probably too wet here for them.

Maybe determine a variety that's cold hardy for your zone and if you have a slope plant it on that so it drains well. Or maybe construct a raised bed with relatively quick draining soil. I drove by an enormous agave in a neighboring town which was planted in one of those nursery containers that are used for saplings. A person couldn't get near the container except by crawling in their belly because the agave has grown really large. It's clearly been in place for a few years because some woody trash plants are beginning to grow up around the container. Wish the one I have could take the cold winter here, but I have to move it into protection.
