Podcasts and busy hands making for a nice slow sunday after all too much socialising and a very physical week scything.

Folks in the midwest collecting native seeds to winter sow or direct sow, little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) has gone to seed! This is a great native for landscaping.
- ~2 feet tall
- clumping grass
- striking bronze color through the winter
