Phragmites

           Would you recognize a phragmite if you saw one? They are an invasive plant that displaces native plants in wetland. They have almost no value for wildlife. It has been spreading in my cattail marsh but most years the ground is too wet to mow them. Mowing is a step in controlling them. They grow 8-10' feet tall and have bushy heads. About half were mowed when the mower broke. Mowing wasn't easy so the broken mower wasn't much of a surprise.  Next up mower repair. 

Takk for alt,
