Fighting the grass

j_cheneySpent some time this afternoon cutting down the last 6 of the ornamental grasses. The first 5 weren't too bad.
But I'd saved the Pampas grass for last. Two mistakes:
1) My valiant little hedge trimmer can't handle the Pampas grass, so I have to cut it by hand, with pruning shears.
2) Although I wore welding gloves to do this, I also had on short sleeves.
I now have dozens of small scratches along the middle part of my arm.....which itch. I'm going to go take some Benadryl.
I'm glad this is done!
