Londoner turns his garden into tequila heaven

A bodybuilding amateur gardener is well on his way to making a unique home-grown spirit after filling his garden with cactui - to make TEQUILA. Elvis Hall, 44, is the proud owner of almost 50 of the exotic blue agave plants, which are usually found in Mexico, rather than Pinner, north west London. The personal trainer, originally from New York City, was inspired after a trip to Spain to grow the plant and has managed to nurture the largest to weigh almost 80kg - which can be fermented into making the delicious Mexican spirit. Elvis said: "I was on holiday 13 years ago in Spain when I saw the agave outside and thought it was a beautiful plant.
