the eastern gamagrass has begun its usual reproductive frenzy..last week i saw ( i believe ) four discernible terminal spears and emerging seed heads...this week there are thirty-two and quite a few of them are flowering so we should have a good harvest of seeds...the terminal spears are still upright and will be so until the seeds mature and the seed heads are ready to shatter...the plants will tell us when the seed is ripe by leaning over and positioning the seed head as far away from the parent plant as possible to insure adequate space for a new generation to germinate...i will be ready to harvest.
