Nanci, Linda, John, Sarah, David and try-it-out volunteer from Soka University: Megan Tan. Bumped up remainder of plants: CA rose, Monkey Flower, purple needle grass, bedding plant, elderberry, mountain mahogany, and white sage.
There is enough work for 1 more work day to bump up tree-shrubs. It will take at least another month until we can bump up the tree-shrubs to 5 gallon pots…. size of plant and/or time of year that critters don’t eat the tops of them.
We’re starting to see fungal (fungus) gnats on the seed flats. These guys promote “damping off”. Search finds that common source is over-watering.. also if you are using peat-based media, consider switching to one that only contains perlite and vermiculite. Good air circulation is also a deterrent.
The automated irrigation project is making good headway. Ranger Laura worked with Eagle scout group, which donated $600 to the Nursery for the automated irrigation system. Ranger Barbara has gotten the County work started to lay bibs to both structures.
Beth is going to do various testing on the prickly pear cactus seeds. This will save us trial-and-error. However I have not given up on flat we have.
Weather: raining during week and another storm coming. 160 gallons of rain water.
