Grass growing with the plants.

The Lord makes me lie down in green pastures…A restful oxygen filled place. Psalms 23: 2… what I found out.

The garden has been producing grass. It is amazing to see the variety now that it is tall enough to seed.

It is also disturbing to see how much has grown in amongst the plants during these last 11 weeks.

Grass all the same
but browns of different richness
mixed with cream.
We never saw the large white petals of the clematis
but growing
with the seeded grass there they are
browning petals
edging their heads
preparing to seed.
A few stalks growing in the garden together,
and together
in granny Piercey’s Woolworth’s vase.
A lovely find below the tortured willow tree.
Very finely seeded grass.
It snaps easily in your hands.
All grasses produce seeds that are monocotyledonous.
(Each seed produces one leaf sprout.)
I’m sorry I can’t identify these
and really I don’t mind .
It is said that there are thousands of varieties
but
I did see a fact that made me smile:
‘It takes 2,500 square feet of grass to produce enough oxygen for a family of four.’
I wish the grass would stay in the lawn while we are away!

Here are some sayings about grass and oxygen you may well know them:

The grass is greener on the other side

… Nah… its AstroTurf.

Sometimes the grass will appear greener on the other side because it has been fertilized by bull shit!

The grass is greener if you water it. Sandy 🙂

Prayer is the oxygen of the soul.

Love is the oxygen of the soul.

Possibility is the oxygen upon which hope thrives.

By ‘ I don’t know.’

I wish this lovely plant would stay out of the beds!

Sandy 🙂
