Ornamental Grasses Update end of May

Many of the clumps have not shown signs of life as yet. First to show new growth have been Miscantus sinensis "autumn light" and "giganteus".

Daytime temperatures are warming to the high 70s and low 80s. Drip irrigation is functioning. We are being subject to high dry winds and no precipitation. Looks like more water may be called for until grasses become established. Going with twice a week deep watering for 4 hours with .5 gallon emitters spaced every eighteen inches. At this rate a large moist ovoid is created below the surface and there isno runnoff or muddying of the adobe soil.
