I spent one of my days off weeding the prairie I had built six years ago. Julie was laid off recently and we had to let the guys who mow our lawn go. The downside is all this rain has meant a lot more time spent mowing the lawn. The upside is they never seemed to be able to leave that part of the yard alone. I weeded out the cheat grass earlier this season and with this second pass at weeding it’s really coming together. We have beautiful flowers growing inside of it. There’s still some bermuda mixed in there, but as the buffallo grass is able to shade it and grow denser at the surface it seems to at least be controlling it somewhat. There are still some holes, but it’s really coming together. I feel like it’s in a really good place rolling into the summer. The buffalo grass is really strong and is probably going to choke out a bunch of the other plants once the triple-digits hit.
Also look at the six year difference in that Agave. It’s one of the pups from Pam’s agave Moby.
