Speaking of crops, I gots garden questions.
I'm going to be digging up the entire side garden to install the dry stream bed around the end of September. Can't get it done before then, but that should give me sufficient time before first frost.
I have some pampas grass that I planted in a pot this spring. It's about 12-18 inches high. Do I need to winter that inside? Or do you think I can put it in the ground? The pampas grass I planted last year didn't make it. The other grasses did.
HHmmmmm.....I don't have much "sperience" with pampas grass. From what I've found out on the web it's normally planted in the spring ("propagated by clump division in the spring.") The thing I'd worry about is whether it can get its roots established before th cold weather sets in.
Morning Corin, got to say we don't have any pampas grass and don't know much about it. We think OT's reasoning is spot on.
Man, do I love daylilies. They multiply like crazy. Drives LSA up a wall though, I keep dividing them and planting new beds, she wants to do some other plant stuff. Heck we can do both, there are still some patches of grass that aren't converted yet.
This has been the best year for Hostas we have seen. They are 'HUGH' and the blossoms are outstanding. Columbines seem to have survived and thrived, spreading nicely.
Looking forward to your 'riparian corridor establishment' and its subsequent 'enhancement' project. That really does sound fascinating.
