plants not planted

These flags mark a plot not planted. All the non-natives are pulled and we monitor what comes up. This plot lies within a one acre nasturtium area under coast live oaks. We are in the process of removing the nasturtium and replanting natives. This plot will hopefully tell me how much we need to replant and what might be waiting in the seed bank.

And just a few meters away. . .

is an area that one year ago was covered in english ivy. I trampled all over this place pulling and piling. Now it's nice and fluffy with woodmint, blackberry, and ferns.

It takes time, but we are making progress.
