Another on-the-fly replanting. This meadow planting was overgrown with yarrow, and now that we have a dog, I wanted something that had a meadow look, but also a decent amount of durability. I planted clustered field sedge with a drift of blue grama through the center. #californianativeplants - ThreadSky

And finally, I’m collecting a ton of blue eyed grass seed, and the hope is to plant liberal amounts of it along the entirety of the meadow on all sides.

I’ll stay aggressive with watering and cutting back the sedges to stimulate side growth. Come December, I’ll sprinkle some yarrow seed between the gaps. This will help add more texture but also contain the yarrow’s aggressive tendencies.

And because one can never have enough fragrant pitcher sage, I added another plant at the base of my island mallow. There’s San Diego ambrosia, Dichondra, and blue eyed grass growing around it. Just behind it is a golden currant that will eventually grow larger and form a nice contrast.

I then added to a partial ring of larger Deergrass with canyon prince wild rye to vary the texture and color on a transition zone below the coast live oak.

Up front on the boarder between the Yerba Buena and the pitcher sage, I planted some tomales bay fescue (awesome grass)
