A Grass I'm Testing This Week


It's holding strong day four. Now I just have to figure out what it is. (It's a roadside find.) Right now, I think it's Hare Barley. A weed. Another weed I tested this week is a definitely a member of the pea family, Birdsfoot Trefoil. (A lot find) That's unfortunately crapping out at day three. But I didn't change the water or recut the stems or condition it other than a quick shot in the fridge, so maybe another time round with a little different care, it will last a little longer.

The grass has great texture; I want to reach out and run it through my fingers.

Doesn't it? Guess I don't have to tell you about the fun of the foraging find. My condolences on the loss of your friend.

Hey, just saw your NYTimes debut. Great! So it's a go?

many of the perennial plugs we ordered and some seedlings made into the backyard at Bluesky. But we've had to hold back on our guerilla incubator at the lot. heh. So still moving slowly forward until we cannot.
