Sudoku Puzzles

I thought that it would be some time before I published another blog page, but....

Today's tough puzzle is a great puzzle for study for those whom are just beginning to tackle tough puzzles. I could not resist blogging it!
(and it did not consume much time to do so)

The pampas grass does make a lovely showing although it can be a nuisance, I believe.

I will be moving to Idaho in a few weeks. I hope I can grow this in my new yard. It is so pretty when it blows in the breeze.

4:20 Maen. More mistakes. I'm afraid to go on to Tough today... Pretty grass -- will that grow in Idaho?

8:57 Lovely photo. Enjoy your day/night, everyone.

20:45. only one set of mistakes when i was forced to guess. good Maen all.

I had the misforune of having a pampus grass years ago. Has an incredible growth rate. Seeds blow around and come up nearby. Leaves will cut you too. Clumps were attractive to firebugs. Used to be many many clumps in the Perth metro area but you only see a few now after they were declared as a weed and destroyed.

8:48, but went to sleep between clicks, I need to get to bed on time tonight.

maEn! 8:45

Good mAen!
Pretty pampas flower. At least it looks pretty in the picture.

8:37 Hi to all. I used to have a lot of pampas grass in my old garden but it always behaved itsself perhaps it depends on the conditions.

In years past this was popular in our area. Now I seldom see them.

6.55 first time under 7:00

Very easy Hard today! I think I will try the Tough.

Good afternoon to all! Don't see much of that here in Ottawa.

This is my picture from Michigan. I have a hard time getting it to grow, so there is no problem of it spreading in this cold climate. I like that it hides my walk way though because it grows so tall.

mAen all

Darn, I have been so busy this week, that I didn't see that my picture of the Gonopora coral was this week too. I hope you all enjoyed it, my husband took it learning his new camera.

6:10; pretty pampas, could be a clue in a mystery novel!

CATHY
Good shot and nice picture.

Beadrix From W Australia, Who had the honors to delcare this a weed?

Cathy, I loved the coral photo, and this is a good one also.

The puzzle was difficult for me without possibilities. I almost gave up and added them but then realized I'd missed an easy placement.

like a noxious weed.

In Bendigo, Australia, pampas grass used to cover all the old gold mine tailings. I suppose it held them together to a degree but also made the place very picturesque. Lovely to paint against the different colored piles. Probably all eradicated by now. Hadn't thought of their burning attractiveness. It's rare to see a cypress hedge in cities these days because of fire bugs, more's the pity.

I remember having Pampas grass in our garden many years ago. I had forgotten all about it until now. It was lovely and I agree you don't see it much at all now. I don't remember it being declared a noxious weed. We struggle to grow anything in our soil so we thought it was great.

Few things scare me more than hearing people comment about how attractive Pampas Grass is. It is a dreadful pest in the Oz bush. It spreads like mad and is particularly difficult to remove - hand grenades? I thought it had been declared a noxious weed in all states; maybe Qld is yet to catch up?

6:something - my dreadful short term memory!

8.51. Good MaEn all.

'Pampas grass is highly adaptable and can grow in a wide range of environments and climates. It also seeds prolifically, with each plant able to produce over 1 million seeds during its lifetime. As such, in some areas (for example California and Hawaii) it is regarded as an invasive weed, whilst in More...

Mark From Shenzhen China asked who had the honours here. I think it was AGWA our agriculture department. I checked out the quarantine list for W Aus and it is illegal to import the seed.

For those interested in growing Cortaderia - pampus grass that is where you are allowed to. It takes 14 - 21 days to germinate, needs a peaty soil mix, should be planted after your last frost in spring. Here is the important bit - It must be planted on the surface and needs light to germinate, so More...
