THE BEFORE SHOT - May 23, 2013
Remember the sweetgrass plants I planted one month ago? Well, we've had a lot of rain here on Long Island this past month with just a couple of days that resembled spring or summer. I have given these plants a sprinkle of blood meal and bone meal twice this past month, as well as, some liquid fish (yucky stuff)... I think I've been successful so far... what do you think?
They have grown pretty well and look strong. The most amazing thing that has happened is not only are my new plant looking great, but I put the same food recipe on my old sad looking container of sweetgrass, boy was I thrilled!!!
This bucket of grass I have been growing for several years and the blades were never bigger than 12" long after a full growing season... that is why I bought new grass plugs... I guess I'm going to have a lot of braiding to do this winter!!!
