[Green] Status of native Sp. garden

[Dawn Hewitt]

Hi all,

I spent about 1/2 hour on my lunch break this afternoon repinning plastic and relocating several water jugs to more effective locations. A few had rolled down the hill. I found lots and lots of pins on the periphery of the plastic, and used them at the worst spots. We’ll almost need to scan the area for stray pins to prevent them from being run over by a lawn mower!  As I left it today around 2, most of the hillside was covered, but if there are strong winds, it’s probably not going to hold. Bummer.
