She did the digging while I did the planting. It was not meant to be recovered. I don't know if that is the section you are referring to. Warning: following a lot of digging of roots to make room for the flowers, I got a bad dose of what my doctor's PA diagnosed as poison oak. I am on my second dose of steroids. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Maggie<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Mar 14, 2021 at 6:01 PM Dawn Hewitt via Green <<a href="mailto:green@fuusm.org">green@fuusm.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">Hi Green friends,<div><br></div><div>A quick update: I visited the riverbank project this afternoon and spent nearly an hour pinning, even though the plastic wasn’t in too bad shape.
