native plantings info
Category: garden plans and adventures | Posted: Sat Jul 15, 2006 7:17 pm I ran across this site and thought I'd post for anyone who is interested in Native American grasses for lawns or fields. [url]http://www.seedsource.com/ [/url] I found a lot of interesting seeds and books there. For those on thee look out for drought tolerant or at least more hardy grasses, the native grasses require less water and some are short enough to need little mowing. I'm going to give the buffalograss and blue grama grass mix a try in the spring. and follow their recommendation of Cereal Rye grass in the fall to nourish the soil. I'm so enthused about this idea I cant wait for fall now. Well, with it being so hot I cant wait anyway. hehe! I've been busy with trying to put up a semi permanent fence and now its so hot , some of it has to wait. 
I've used 4x4's and 1x4's sandwiching 4ft wire fencing. I intend to add rails and then maybe add pickets. Haven't quite decided. I'm doing this on the cheap for now and was inspired by the fencing wire that the previous owner took down and left. I'm frustrated because I still lack gates, so I cant just let my dog walk out the door. :{ I have a dog that just runs when he gets loose. Next non-100F day is gate building day. Hmm that could be a week or two! This blog entry has been viewed 245 times

Your right about the heat .Its not even weather for outside.
Wow I like the fence it looks good and sturdy!! Fence building is very hard work!! And hopefully we will all get some weather relief soon!!!
Oh I forgot to comment about the grass!! I would like to have more grass in my flower gardens for added interest!! I just added purple fountain grass this year and I really like it! We have a native grass that turns purple in the fall, my grandmother called it purple sage grass. I don't know if that is the real name for it but I plan on transplanting some to my garden this year. Good luck with your grass plans and please keep us updated on them. Login or register to leave a comment. |
