Bumping Up, 2008#5

David brought in two spiffy covers that we’ve already started using on the oak seedlings. In January, or when the oaks have 3-4 sets of true leaves, “something” gnaws the stem off at the base. This year we’re ready, and the design is light and easy to move around. For safe measure, the seed flats were covered too.
Nanci bumped up CA fuchsia and helped Bill bump up Coast Live and Scrub oak. John bumped up Big Pod Ceanothus. Steve helped prep potting soil and make labels. David made flats of Lemonade Berry and Elderberry that had been cold stratifying. The group finished with another set of Purple Needle grass. See slide show. (Click any pic to enlarge)
