It was a beautiful morning for planting. We focused once again on the lower park entrance planting 50 or so native plants. The pair of oak trees planted in this location in 2010 are getting big - the larger one was buzzing with birds - finches and hummingbirds. A redtail hawk circled above us and was chased away by a flock of crows. A small group of volunteer neighbors showed up to help plant including Chris Faust, Tao, Gloria and Dave, David and Josh. Thanks Volunteers!
This location has been planted three times now, each time less than 10% of the plants seem to survive. This area is hot and dry in the summer and dogs like to poop right here at the entrance. If we want this area to have native plants & flowers, we might need a little fence area similar to the entrance at the top of the hill.
Anyway, here are some pictures of the day - thanks to neighbor Jane!
