Pruning Grasses


Spring might be here to stay.  One never knows in Nebraska!  However, baby Kale plants are growing in beds.

Karl forester grass got its spring hair cut this morning!!!  This grass needs to be left alone through the fall and winter to protect the roots from the winter and provide housing for bugs, birds and critters.  I added some decomposed leaves and will add some manure and watch this beautiful grass grow!




My favorite grass is little and big bluestem that used to fill the plains!  Spring, when new growth is beginning to show is the time to prune and transplant.
