Growing update

I missed posting a few weeks ago when I took some more pictures of the grass starting to poke through the soil. A week or so after planting temperatures started to climb, and with all the rain we have had, the volunteer foxtail grass started growing. we tried to keep it knocked down by harrowing the ground well until the miscanthus started to come through.
These pictures were all taken June 12, 2011, 25 days after the initial planting.

After all the rain, a pool of water sits in the low spot. This is the view from the field entrance

This is on the back side of the hill. You can see there was quite a bit of erosion that happened from the rain and no soil cover. The stubble that was  harrowed in was still in the top portion of the soil. There was not deep gullies created by the rain.

Here is a grass coming out. very new. This likely just came through in the last day or two.

A little hard to see but this and the two below attempt to row the grass by sight. They are there, but are so small you have to almost know what your looking for, The grass is about 3-6" tall and doming through at the spaced we planted. It look like there is a good percentage of survival rate of the rhizomes. They are just slow to get started.
