Over the garden hedge..... by happypat

Over the garden hedge.....

This is our neighbours pampas grass.
When I went to NZ for the first time I thought the Toetoe they have there in abundance was the same as Pampas grass but there is a subtle difference in that Toetoe has golden drooping flowers whereas pampas grass has upright pinkish cream flowers.
It’s hard to get rid of I believe but looks lovely in a large garden.

Three good things:
1. Promising news re a vaccine for Corinovirus, praying that it’s successful.
2. Our dedicated scientists & brave volunteers who are working round the clock to discover the next medications for our modern world.
3. I posted the Advent Calendars for the boys!
Lovely autumn colors! Also grateful for those working so hard to create a vaccine!

Lovely to look over the garden hedge and see what others have in their garden ! Lovely Pampas , but I can vouch they do spread and have very deep root system - so difficult to up root ! Autumn is taking over aand the trees are becoming bear - a great time to survey your land and decide what to do with it ! The news re the vccine sounds promising !!

@pdulis We live in Lancashire in England Peter. We have two sons & their families who emigrated to NZ that’s why I mention there quite a bit but we are in the UK.

I love pampas grass too but it is regarded as a noxious weed here in Australia because it grows like wildfire.

@beryl We are just waiting for the quote Beryl....we are hoping they will come in with mini digger & uproot the brambles & tree suckers....will take a photo before or the overgrown bits!

@maggiemae Ha ha we have but it’s more if a shrub hedge Maggie...we can’t get near it as it’s very overgrown. Will let garden clearance tackle it then Harry will keep it right!

@onewing I wouldn’t want it in ours either....I expect these roots are sneaking under the boundary into our bit! 😱
