Today
is just the perfect Friday, and while this is perfect weather for many
of you and many of your plants, it is unfortunately also the perfect
weather for weeds too. Remember to get out there and stay on top of
weeding before the mugwort has reached 10’ high!
Its
also a good time to cut back tall plants that look better a little
shorter: coreoposis, eupatoirum (Joe Pye Weed), Balloon flower, and
Asters. We’ve been tending to one of our very lush green roofs in
Brooklyn - you can see the Mexican Feather Grass is thriving!
Including
another green roof in Tribeca where the same grass is looking
beautiful. We’ve experimented with potting this grass in planters before
with fatal results - the drainage was just not good enough and there
was way too much irrigation. Green roofs are perfect for this grass,
they provide excellent drainage and are generally dry, sunny landscapes.

Want some more tips? The lovely Jeanne Rostaing featured one of our recent projects in Fort Greene, and I sat in for some Q&A.
