The meadow grasses are beginning to turn from green to copper and gold. Soon they should be dry enough for broom cuttings, though they’ll have better color with several more weeks. #broommaking #nativegrasses

My experiment in cutting Bluestem while still green is concluded; I find it heavier but not necessarily any more pliable than fully dried straw, and a less appealing greenish grey color. The Panic Grass has fully gone to seed, which I harvest for replanting. #woodcraft #broommaking #brooms
