A glorious sunny start to the holiday week. I am taking the weekend off from work, so the gardening I do this weekend will be just for me. I’m looking forward to a bit of time with my audiobook (currently listening to Code Name Helene and I love it) and the soil, along with family time, rhubarb pie, sailing and more.
Did you know that you can semi-control the size of ornamental grasses in containers depending on how much water 💦 you give them? AD 

Give grasses like purple fountain grass a good amount of water and they’ll just keep on growing. If you limit water, they’ll stay smaller. If you want big, flowy grasses in your containers, consider using a drip irrigation system with a @rainpointirrigation timer so you never have to think about it. Check out my stories for info on the two types of timers I use.

European ginger is one of my favorite ground covers. I just love those shiny leaves.
