Mauritanian Grass (Ampelodesmos mauritanicus)

Grass

"Shadow, am I! Shadow, am I!
A question of a person, no said reply."

Three out of the four yards we normally mow each time have now been fully mowed and weedeated for the first time this season.

The fourth one isn't tall enough as that neighbor wants his to grow a bit taller each time before mowing.

Glad to have that done and to be back inside where it's nice and cool so I can rest and relax for the rest of the day before the work week starts again tomorrow.

Personally I'm never going to understand people who get mega pressed about their grass lawns. Grass lawns are pretty worthless for pollinators and the environment, waste water, aren't aesthetically pleasing, and trigger hella allergies. Rip it out and put something better in. And put a sign up if you're that butthurt about people going in it. #Grass #Lawn #PeopleAreWeird

This is a #grass‽ From giant bamboos to maize and the common lawn ryegrass, #Poaceae can be quite variable. #Panicum cupressifolium from #Madagascar has minute leaves, making it look like a #cypress (hence the name).
