I'm really wanting to do more in the way of progress videos on designs, because unlike realtors I don't have a super-wide-ridiculous angle lens on my camera! So video would really let me show an expansive view. If you do that for your gardens be sure and let me know so I can see! LOL, thanks Billy.

Carrying around a flip camera you can stop by new installs and show progress videos, go back to installs done 2-3 years ago and really get some nice video.Found in hard to keep my eyes off of you and concentrate on the pruning...lol very photogenic. Nice addition to the landscape leadership site. I just did the first native planting at an HOA entrance where our county gives a rebate($$$) to installs using more than 75% of square footage with md native plantings. We took out all the builder plant material and went native... thinking of trying a hand at this video style soon! great video..too many people just prune in the spring with a hedge trimmer/chainsaw. before and after shots show a nice peekaboo view.

I LOVE Morning Light, definitely one of my favorite grasses. Monica - I actually quite like them floppy too! But the neighboring plants don't always approve, LOL. I love your hedgetrimmer tip - I don't have any electric shears but bundling them definitely helps make the cleanup waaaaay faster! Rebecca, yeah, I started pruning and thought to myself - uh-oh! No sleeves! I have so many tiny crisscrossing scars on my arms though that I think they're hardly noticeable at this point! The worst is that the tiny cuts do itch a bit.

I leave the folaige of all grasses over the winter, tie them up at the base with twine, and use my hedgetrimmer to cut off the top part in spring (conveniently bundled and ready for the yardwaste bags!).

I love grasses too and try to use them as often as possible. I have two mature Morning Light grasses in my garden and only got around to dividing one this spring so the other is definitely encroaching on her neighbors. I never thought about selectively pruning out some of the stray pieces right now. Thanks for the advice, I was thinking I'd have to wait until spring to tidy up that area of my garden but I'll think I'll try your technique now. .-= Debbie´s last blog ..<a href="http://gardenofpossibilities.com/2009/09/27/book-preview-home-outside-creating-the-landscape-you-love/" rel="nofollow">Book Preview: Home Outside: Creating the Landscape You Love</a> =-.
