Poking out

We finally have sunshine and heat! And wow is the gras growing! We dug up a few rhizomes over the past weekend to be sure they were growing. Sure enough they were starting to sprout out new shoots. Very small though. Since then we have had temps in the 90's and lots of sunshine (and some evening rain). The rhizomes I planted in a pot outside my back door sprouted on May 31st and haven't stoped since. I even planted it in junk clay soil to test the worst conditions I could.  So I am feeling much better about the rhizomes taking off.
