Good Grass

This first picture is of some really, really bad grass - surrounding my first house. That house was a remarkably ugly house, but oh how I loved it. But that grass! It haunted my dreams, and not in a good way. Thick and spongy, it was always brown despite sucking up water at an alarming rate, and grew rampantly into every crack and crevice it could find. I almost expected to find it creeping up through the floorboards in the kitchen one morning!




This is after I eradicated a lot of the lawn in favor of my many roses, but those horrible roots still ran deep and popped up in the most unexpected places.

But there are good grasses! In fact, I'm rapidly becoming obsessed with all forms of grasses, restios and sedges.

Restios and grasses marry delightfully.
