I have just a couple of little throw-rug sized lawns left and am looking forward to getting rid of them, too.

I love seeing their leaves all sparkling with dew in the morning. I imagine your backyard is beautiful with meadowyness right now. Thanks for the compliment about the photo. It's a blown Hot Cocoa rose, barely keeping its last petals. I love that rose.<br /><br />PA: I know the red grasses you're talking about; I think they're fountain grass, Pennisetum something-or-another. They're pretty but overwhelming. My friend had him in his yard and he had the same struggle keeping them attractive; removing them was a bear. I did a lot of research before choosing this carex, and I hope it doesn't overwhelm me--it didn't sound like it would. But, we'll see. <br /><br />I'm picturing you cursing at the rain bird.

Setting up that hose and rain bird on top of some rickety tripod feature Vic made for me, puts me in a grumpy mood. <br /><br />I planted those red grasses with the plums (not Pampus) but they got full of dead material. Hard to remove, treacherous even. When you live on a hill such as mine with a pitch - you start thinking about ivy. I know, don't preach - no plans of doing so. If this works out for you, maybe I'll give it a tryPasadena Adjacenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031325790590238246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-21187985818909617752012-11-24T16:34:40.960-08:002012-11-24T16:34:40.960-08:00I think my backyard looks like a meadow two season...I think my backyard looks like a meadow two seasons of the year, and like a slum for the other six months. I was going to take heroic action this month, but it's back to looking like a meadow.<br /><br />Your first photo is a religious experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
