My new sweetgrass plants... 1 month later!

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?

THE AFTER SHOT - June 22, 2013

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!!!
