Sunset Through the Grass

Post by Derek Klepp »

With the Summer grass over 2m tall I drove down to the paddock to catch the Sunset. Not quite what I had in mind but a nice end to the weekend.

Hi Derek...

Nice sunset snaps!!!

Is this 2m tall grass a natural area, or will it be harvested in some way?

Brian its just an old paddock Satieria I don,t think thats the correct spelling I think it,s from Sth Africa originally.Makes good food for all the finches ,quails and grass birds as well as a winter fire hazard.

Hi Derek...

If this is a plant of the genus 'Setaria', we have several species here that are annual weeds. I thought they were a pain to manage in crop (herbicide resistance), but if you have them 2m tall ours aren't so bad :shock:
