grass in general

the hopi blue at the pgp is doing fine as well as the teosinte ( top two photos )...so are the chinese yams . asparagus, and intermediate wheat grass in the middle photo...a second terminal spear has appeared on the gamagrass and there are other terminal stems forming in both clumps of grass ( bottom two photos )...slow but relentless colonizers the gamagrass was difficult to germinate...only three of thirty seeds planted in the fall of 2009...they are native to northwest indiana and have proven to be a hardy plant...obviously they have found what they need even if they are somewhat difficult...the weather has cooled and some of the plants ( particularly the maize ) seem confused but the grasses are coming along in the garden.
