The Tuesday Crew picked a single job to work on on this, a dreary cool day — though a nice day for working outside without overheating or becoming dehydrated. Bill, Beverly, Dale, Katie, Daryl, Nancy, Ann and Marshall were on site. The single job had been requested by contractor Jim a couple of weeks ago, and frankly I had forgotten until Bill reminded me this morning. The job was to pull the stinging nettle behind and between the sheds in the service area before they set seed. Even with 7 of us working, we were only able to weed the level parts around the sheds and in front of the pumping station where people need to walk and work. We’ll look at the hillside behind the sheds at a later time to see if is is feasible to complete the job. It was done last year, and the nettles were collected and used in cooking by one of the volunteers. Incidently, while in the area, we trimmed the lower sprouts of the African sumac on the right side of the service gate (looking out). The higher sprouts will likely require the tree service. We actually didn’t get much further than the service area so didn’t check other areas of the garden for issues or “what’s blooming,” but we did get as far as Lillian’s Meadow and found a couple of things blooming. Alstroemeria in the Chilean Garden. Daffodils in Lillian’s Meadow.
