The Back Corner

In The Meadow Project post I noted we had three new 'no-mow' zones in our yard this year. The first being the what we hope will be come a meadow next spring. The second was the Field of Blue.

This is the third one, the 'Back Corner'.

The area behind the dry stream bed is the no-mow zone. It's what passes for high ground in our yard. And at first glance it seems a bit barren.

Looking closer we find a nice patch of Carex albicans, White-tinged Sedge, as shown in the shot above and the one below.

There is quite a bit of this growing in the woods out behind our place, so it is not surprising that it would be in the yard.

What is a surprise, a pleasant one, is that we have so much coming up in the Back Corner. A nice, no-mow ground cover.
