Sooo......I'm adding to my garden this year and in keeping with the original purpose of this blog, I want to keep track of what's growing.
A few years ago I was down on Cape Cod in the Fall and fell in love with the ornamental grasses that they had at the resort. I spoke with the gardener who happened to be on site and she told me where to buy them and that at this time of year they were on sale! I bought 2.
