Bay Grass Update #10: Lush grasses ready for planting

by | Apr 6, 2017 | RICHMOND NEWS

What’s up, welcome to your weekly bay grass update, it’s your host, the Grass Queen AKA Grass Warrior AKA Ka$h Money AKA lowly intern.

Let’s get right to it. Some of these grass blades are ONE FOOT LONG! We made it! We really #did that. We’ve finally gotten the right mix of nurture and nature. With the water heater right in front of the water pump that pushes the surface of the water along, algae growth has been curbed and our grass guys have the ability to flourish.

They grow up so fast. This grass is so green, long, and environmentally beneficial Ellwood Thompson’s could see it for the price of your soul. They must be feeling that summery vibe in the air. You should too – treat yourself to a little break. May I suggest a nice 15 minute dissociation while you stare into the sun?

Anyway, that’s all for today. Keep our grasses in your thoughts and prayers as we approach our planting road-trip date.

Until next time!
