Wow, your knock-outs are gigantic! What is that mulch around your bright-light? It almost looks like dried lemon grass. Beautiful yard!
Thanks!
I have 3 knockouts on the other side of the yard that are half the size. For some reason those ones are just very happy in their location. I cut them back to virtually nothing in February, so this is all one year's growth.
The mulch is straw. I get it from a friend's farm in Granger, where he grows organic wheat. It has been great for the veggies.
