It's giant in my back garden.

I make toys for my guy and my grandkids cats.

I remember that cats really love the rabbit hair toys they used to have at the store.

I did pull it in the front before seeding and picked it on the sides before seeding. I let the bunches in the back go ahead and flower.

I have lots of house finches and gold finches and cardinals around. And boy do the hummingbirds like my ziennas.
