Cleaning Up Muhly Grasses - February 2025

The three Ruby Muhly Grasses that are planted at the end of the boardwalk seemed to do fine last year.  When you look back at them in September, the thing that jumps out THE MOST is the lack of space in teh bed.   Late last Fall, I attempted to change that by doing a 'lazy bed extension' using the cardboard method to smother the turfgrass.   This Spring, that newly extended bed will need to be cleaned-up and edged and topped with a fresh layer of mulch. 

With the warmer temperatures recently, I decided to continue to do a little bit of garden cleanup by pruning back the blades of these Muhly grasses.  Below is a before-and-after of the three grasses that sit right at the landing of the boardwalk:

Unlike the the Autumn Moor Grasses in the front yard, I hauled this yard waste back to the compost bin.  I'll post an update on that situation in a couple of days.
