cape ivy at the old Jazwin property


The cape ivy burrito rolls are decomposing nicely. They weigh about 1/8 of what they used to weigh. One or two green stems grow out of them. I pulled those green stems and rolled the burritos a turn or two. Eight months after first pulling and rolling and I think this will do it.

Work on the second patch continues. I roll the edges inward and take out any ivy beyond the borders. For only a few hours a month, the progress is tremendous.

As I was working I scared up an alligator lizard, uncovered a sleeping bumblebee, and pulled up multiple abandoned small mammal nests.
