Fall 2006
Here are some of our goals so far for our site:
Re-establish path: weed path, clear of excess fallen leaves, re-mulch, fill in stone gaps
Prune: nootka rose at path edge, ferns taking over path
We would both like to learn about how to prune correctly and which plants are weeds to be pulled.
We will put more as we think of them but right now this is what we are focusing on in the immediate future.
