Grasses Part one..

i love the way grasses move and the swish they make, you have got some really beautiful ones there.

Me to Thanks Sticki, i've got some real beauties in autumn time if the grow quick enough that is...but that's part 2 :-)

i shall look forward to that, i was going to say which i liked best ~ but it was nearly all of them!!

These are lovely SL....that path will look great when it all fills out. Looking forward to autumn time to see part 2 :)

I adore grasses SL lovely shots - looking for squirrel grass - also I am in hunt of pennisetum villosum - feathertop

Looking forward to anther shot of these later in the year - they are lovely.

Is that a special compost for grasses or your normal garden soil Surrey lad ?

Thanks Sticki, i'm like that too, can't really make my mind up which one :-))
Thanks Scottish i'm looking forward to it filling out...
Thanks Paul, i don't have any at the mo but in autumn time i can send you some squirrel tail,i put villosum under glass last week lol must have the same taste in grass :-)
Thanks Steragram :-)
It's normal soil Diane just added a compost mulch around in winter time.. :-)

Yes SL very nice grass to frame - about the onky thing I enjoyed at school was when we did grass pictures in a frame

Lovely blog .. useful and informative with good pics :o)
Well done !

You've got so many different grasses. It's interesting to see them. I quite like them :o)

I like grasses too:) Have got few growing in pots.
Also like them with bulbs:)

I'm always adding to mine Paul, so if there's any you fancy just say and i'll send some :-)
Thanks Terra :-)
Thanks Hywel :-)
Thanks Kasy, i do think bulbs and grass complement each other :-) as with Paul, Kasy if you would like any i can send you some in the autumn time if you want. :-)

:) by the autumn time I should be able to have some more space after vegs would be gone. Or maybe I'd have the Lottery won and be moving to my own garden and house, lol.

Lol fingers crossed for the lottery win :-)

Very lovely :)

Thanks Pixi :-)

I may have to show this post to my girlfriend in the hope that I'll be allowed a few more grasses in the garden. Such a wonderful display - can't wait for part 2.

Thanks Tjhavenith fingers crossed for you then :-)

Great pictures of grasses ...... Briza maxima is one of my favourites too. Could you tell me if I should cut down my Festuca glauca in the autumn as it is looking a bit dry a dead round the edges at the moment ?

you can in spring time around now Roseberry, but i give mine a comb through to pull out the old bits, it is a short lived perennial so you could lift and divide to rejuvenate it and prolong it...
