Frank's Annual Gift List

Frank Reid · 2007-12-03T03:00:02+00:00

Okay folks, its that time again. What does Frank get for Brenda thisyear.Hmmm, she's getting this in February: 1200 square foot sewing room in the walk out basement comesequipped with two sewing stations (so Mom and Daughter can sew at thesame time), sliding design wall that hides 30 feet of fabric storage,a 14X16 foot area for a future long arm and a washer to do felting.One item I've found is this: Yes, they'redesigned for the kitchen (where she's at right now making cranberrybread pudding), but I think it would be something great in front ofher cutting table and another in front of her ironing table (we'veprogressed way beyond an ironing board).What else is the "must have" item for a quilters Xmas this year? Iwill summarize the results so you all can leave the list where yoursignificant other can find Frank Reid

One, its a zero pollen producer (no allergies), two it needs to be mowed about once a month (its max height it six inches), three, it doesn't require the watering that fescue or bluegrass does (both of these are swamp grasses, buffalo is a prairie grass), and finally, it doesn't require annual fertilizer. It does turn brown in the winter, but I don't have a problem with that.

Yep, I know all that, and I've wanted it for years now. The trouble is that there are only a few grass seeds sold here, Kentucky Bluegrass, some odd fescue mixes/blends, and annual rye. I don't know why they don't sell Buffalo unless they think no one will buy it, or it won't grow in red clay soil. I'm not sure why they even try to sell an annual grass seed. Seems a bit stupid to nurse seed to grow only to have it for one year. Debra in VA See my quilts at

I love Buffalo Grass. I have only seen it in KC, MO, not anywhere here in Ohio. The landscaping sounds wonderful.
