Sporobolus is loving life. No mortality. Dramatic growth. 8-19-11 8-2-11 7-2-11

Guara had a hard start. A few didn’t make it (next slide). But they are looking strong now. 8-19-11 7-2-11

Coreopsis is steadily increasing density and has gone to flower in last couple of weeks. 8-19-11 8-2-11 7-2-11
