Watching Grass Grow

Big bluestem grass seed was planted in these plastic plug containers July 21 in a half and half mixture of two potting soils (regular and cheap stuff).  It sprouted within a few days.  Every container sprouted; very good seed viability.

Big bluestem is a native warm-season grass that produces well and is more adapted to the acid soils of this area.  We are testing this seed for germination viability and intend to setup a small test plot.
