My New Sweetgrass Plants are Here!!!

My new sweetgrass plants arrived this past Friday and I couldn't be more thrilled with them!  They came from Redwood City Seed Company in California.

I bought 6 plants, but to me they were more like plugs... much more than I had expected and were packaged very well.  They also came with very clear instructions for planting.  So, off to the garden center I went to buy potting mix, bone meal, blood meal and liquid fish fertilizer...


So, while my plants were soaking in the liquid fish solution, I put planting mix in the pots... added bone meal and blood meal... 


There is about a 1' of space around the plants and these pots will sit on my deck railing.  We had a gentle rain most of that day and the next, so they were off to a pretty good start... I hope.  With weekly feedings, the planters should be pretty full of sweetgrass by the end of the summer, yeah!  Wish me luck...
