Getting ready for the 2007/8 year

Met and talked with Meg Jones, our new Executive Director of the Laguna Canyon Foundation. We talked about the need for planters in March/April timeframe and the need for a meeting about restoration logistics: plots, methods, and followup. Meg made a strong commitment that the Restoration side of things would come together this year. When the number of planters and days, then we will have a better idea of number of plants we should do for the 2007/8 year.
The pictured 5 gallon pots are an experiment using recycled soil. Also this is a test to see how well plants can hold up to environment with only watering every two weeks. Pictured are scub oak, Quercus berberidifolia, and mountain mahogany, Cercocarpus betuloides. The final test is putting them in the ground when the rains start. This may be what we do with our tree-like plants.

Many thanks to Francisco, Rick and Fidel for helping with checking and cleaning rain collection gutter. This is very hard to do by oneself.
