Back to home & garden

April 6: Karl Forster Grass
--and our brief experience
of the 2024 total
eclipse of the sun.
We did not see much!


Eclipse, 2 p.m. 4/8/24
Web pictures, not mine. We liked the second picture, just above. The last time we saw an eclipse
we were at the Botanic Garden, and small spaces between leaves overhead projected eclipse images,
just like these, on the ground. Our own view was pretty limited


We knew something had changed when the lamp in the garage window came on.

But that was pretty much it for us.

We saw numerous Red Admiral butterflies on the pachysandra

Fixing the KF grass. We put ours in in May 2018.
We divided 6 plants to repain the centers, which older plants brown out.
You can see the dead center of this clump, just below.


April 7, 2024. Great weather for the job

Showing the dead center removed
