Garden Bed #10

Porcupine Grass

Oct. 2005

Bed #10 is evolving nicely from wildflowers to grasses. We loved the wild flowers but Ron got tired of doing battle with the weeds. He's really into gasses now. Just a small patch of wild flowers remains. That's only because of the daffodils that are also planted there. I don't want to give up those first bright trumpets of spring.
