Got confirmation my plants have shipped from Michigan, and will “arrive before the weekend”.
So, cautiously optimistic about this whole process. And, assuming everything arrives in good shape, have to give thanks to EZplant.com. So, what the heck is with the planting for Halloween? And clearly not pumpkins?
Well, I’m getting quite tired of the price of corn stalks. And, yet, I missed them last year. We don’t have the room to plant CORN, and so we set out to find something of a similar look I can chop down each year to make my own pseudo-cornstalks.
And, we came up with this stuff. Tall enough, will regrow every year, easy maintanence, drought tolerant, not needing any feeding or wierd care, acts as a wind break to help protect things I might want to leave outside, and once it’s established I can get rid of the concrete border, and just let the lawn grow around it. In fact, get enough of it, and I might just seperate it, planting more bunches on the other side of that walkway to make a nice backdrop for some scarecrows.
Then I picked up some of this stuff here, locally. Up to 6′ tall itself, should provide thatching for various projects, if nothing else.
It will really likely be NEXT year before we really know how well this will work.
