Meadows & Prairies

Where are my grasses?

22 years ago

The weather has been nicely hot for over a month....when can I expect to see some of my grasses (SOG, LBS) peak out?

The only grasses that are growing inches by the day are those I winter-sowed in containers and put out mid April....nothing wrong with that but I'm just beginning to lose hope in the seed I direct sowed last fall.

Thanks..

Good Mornin' Froggy :)

I can see they are slow to grow where I direct sowed them for sure, but I can say the BS I wintersowed in containers (been in the ground since late March) are now nearing 6" to 8"....the direct sown are just about 1 1/2 to 2".

Do you know where I could see a pic of SOG seedlings?

Thanks,

Vera
