I have been enjoying your garden in a virtual sense so much. But when I saw a link to your “rants” category, I had to it check out. Gardeners are usually so calm, and your photo just didn’t fit with that of a ranter. Pleased to see you were talking about grasses. Aren’t they the flavor of the month? They are becoming more popular here in southeast Australia too, what with the 10-year plus drought we’ve been having. Those grasses stand up to it just fine.

Alice, I just browsed over at your place and love your photos. The miscanthus apparently are no problem in California, which is probably like Canberra, right? Anyway, it’ll be fun to follow your southern hemisphere garden; e.g. you’ve just recently had your show of flowering cherries. Welcome.

Thank you, Susan, for that information on Miscanthus Sinensus, which I absolutely love. I’m keeping an eye on mine (I only have two) but as our climate is cold in winter (frosty cold rather than snowy cold) and fairly dry in summer (excessively dry the last few summers) hopefully it won’t be too difficult to keep them under control.
