The outdoor garden is finally starting to wake up for spring. But the real excitement is indoors, where the first buffalograss plug has decided to produce a runner (~60 days after germination). I still haven't beaten 15% seed germination, so these clones are definitely worth growing into plugs.

From our recent ice storm, the Northern Bayberry looked especially awesome. If you look closely you can see wax-covered white berries inside the balls of ice. 🌱 #ygk

Starting year two of my no-mow lawn experiment. These Buffalograss (Bouteloua dactyloides) seedlings were sown into a heated seed tray nine days ago (about 20% germination so far), and transplanted into plugs as soon as they were large enough to handle. They'll go into the yard mid-summer. 🌱🇨🇦
