Raspberries Out-Of-Bounds
Comments (24)I'm not sure what kind of grass it is as I bought this house 3 years ago and it was already here. It has very long deep-green blades and doesn't have quite as solid a base as most ornamental grasses I see. It almost looks like a special turf grass that grows tall and has some dainty little red flowers in the late spring/early summer. I tried to find it online but couldn't. Maybe it's not a true ornamental grass at all, LOL. It is very beautiful though. I'm pretty new to gardening so I don't know names of a lot of things in my yard. The previous owner was a 2nd generation nursery worker and plant lover so we inherited a quite beautiful yard :) I'd really like to keep it that way. I'm in Eugene, Oregon. Not sure what the zone is here, but I moved up here from Southern California and fell head over heels in love with the Red Hot Poker Lily's. Had never seen one before I moved here and they are all over Eugene :) I just planted my 1st ones last year along with a few purple pineapple lily's and a dappled willow shrub that are also gorgeous!! I've never lived this far north before but am really loving how easy everything grow up here. I stumbled upon this board doing a search on my raspberry problem. I've been reading some other posts and plan on sticking around for a bit to see what else I can learn about gardening. I didn't mean to make the original poster feel any worse, but with everyone saying it's no big deal and how great raspberries are, I just had to let them know that there is another side to things. In my research I found a root barrier system that only costs around $50 for a 12"x 20' roll (BioBarrier). It requires digging a 12" trench around the planting area and will prevent roots from spreading where you don't want them. I took this info over to my neighbor and she said "great, why don't you guys install that?" UGH!!! So if I want to prevent the spread, I have to dig up my existing well behaved landscaping to install this so that her newly planted raspberries (planted last fall) wont be disturbed. Or I could accidentally overspray some round up through the fence I guess. Just was hoping not to have to go that route. Anyway, nice to meet you and thanks for the overspray tip....See MoreSpring Continues to Unfurl in Alabama (picture heavy)
Comments (22)I hope everyone is getting ready to post pictures of their spring flowers. The tulips the squirrels got into are blooming now and I will take pictures tomorrow. I am very surprised since I did not chill these tulips and they are lovely anyway. Thanks you so much for looking at them. Thanks Jean, your garden is sure to be waking up. And yours Nancy. Rita, I do know you love the Dutch iris too, so I wanted you to know it couldn't be too long. I am surprised that so many tulips are doing so well, but loving it. Kay, Brent and Becky's bulbs have the Come Back tulips. Thank you sharon. Mantis, I am about to break your heart, but while have to fight voles very vigorously, I don't have a fence or deer repellant because I don't have deer. We currently are fighting a raccoon that thinks it lives here now, but no deer, kay...See Moreupdate: wlomwl homeward bound
