minus-squareRemember_the_tooth@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoRespectfully, I must disagree. I recommend Poa pratensis, but I admit that this varies based on the USDA plant hardiness zone.
minus-squareFauxLiving@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 days agoI certainly agree that the texture of Poa Pratensis is much more pleasurable. However, being in zone 8 and not wanting to seed my entire lawn every year, I’m more familiar with E. ophiuroides and Zoysia japonica.

minus-squareFauxLiving@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoMy yard is surrounded by pine forest, nature does a good job of keeping it from spreading too far. No flower beds, decorative plants in pots. It’s low maintenance and looks good enough for the backyard and I don’t have neighbors close enough to complain about rhizomes.

No, fuck paraphyletic groups.
I meant, can’t we just be more specific rather than use paraphyletic grouping?
“What’s for dinner?”
“Fish”
“That could mean anything!”
“You know I meant Actinopterygii.”
“Still pretty broad.”
“Oncorhynchus.”
“You know how I feel about trout.”
“Ugh. tshawytscha.”
“Well, why didn’t you just say so in the first place?”
