RE: Sharing Photos

Hi!
I love your grasses! I looked for the 'bench' in the last
photo until I realized that the whole planting is the bench. On third time through I saw the bench in photos 3 and 4.

I see 3 houses in the pictures, 2 newish and one old; a barn and a shed; the roofline of another building, and 2 dogs. Which of the above are yours? Do you combine other
plants with your grasses?

It looks as if you have enough space to really show off OGs. Ours are more scattered. We have a bench in a corner bed looking back at the house. In September I need
to use bungee cords on the 2 wonderful unnamed miscanthus
on either side of it. It's still a sort of hidden hideaway.

The bed behind the rail fence reminds me of one I've loved
along an alley on my early morning walk. Regretfully owners have been gradually replacing the grasses with a row
of arborvitae. Good for privacy but boring.

RE: Sharing Photos

Thanks for looking. The rail fence is the back of the lot. I take pics from there because where I was standing is a field full of weeds. My grasses in time will hopefully hide the mess. Absent landlords ya know :(
My house is not in the pictures except for a corner of the roof in the garden bench pic and my reference to the garden bench was a bench I had built with plans from a gw friend.
Do you have pictures of your grasses to share? Post here or in your own thread.
Only planted what you see is in the garden (berm).
