Grass Growth

These pictures were all taken on our lot. All this growth happened in less than six weeks and although the green is pretty, it will soon all be brown and I'll have to hack it down for protection against grass fires next spring. I've been told that the grass down here is mostly not native ... supposedly there are about four major species that were imported decades ago from Africa by cattlemen. Some of it is higher than my waist and still growing. (Note: it ended up being literally chest high that year). It's also really tough stuff and we had to buy a commercial weed whacker to cut it. Beats me how the cows are able chew it, or why they would want to.
