Sweet Vernal Grass: Great Weed #3


The season Sweet Vernal Grass is a season of maturity. Huge changes occur that might be called a filling of the world. Trees change from chartreuse to green and by the end of Sweet Vernal Grass the world is a more uniform green than ever.

A lot of plants bloom, including Robinia pseudoacacia, the black locust which makes some of the hills around here white--though at 42.31, -73.55 there are none.

One plant that blooms on or around 5.15 to 5.20 is Great Weed #3, Dactylus glomerata, orchard grass.

Sweet Vernal Grass is the land's first maturity, fullness of cover in field of forest, whose plants provide the cover from which the next seasons are built. Astronomy freaks and Keplar heads note we are not yet in your summer.
