...who, despite her own students and research, has always taken time to answer my questions...so thank you dr. eubanks for your time and consideration...she tells me that water stress shouldn't have an impact on the gamagrass because, 1) it is highly drougth resistant and, 2) it has notoriously low fertility anyway...i know that empirically ...i planted thirty seeds in the pgp in the fall of 2009 and three germinated...ten percent of the seeds became this stand ( another grass that i am uncertain of establishing again )...the seed heads are shattering cyclically...some have finished, others are still green...i have been collecting seed as i can in hopes of finding a space not controlled by the university ( my yard one would suppose...but even then... ) we'll see what becomes of perennial projects if i cut down some trees ( something else that goes against my better judgement )...the bottom photo is of the pgp about 7:15 this morning...still out there.
