The 5 acre East Basin was planted last November by a group of volunteers. As expected, this year it is mostly weeds, which Kathie has mowed over the past week.
While mowing, she was pleased to see lots of new seedlings from last fall’s planting. The species she saw are listed below.
There are undoubtedly lots of other species, but some are nondescript as seedlings. Also, most grasses (except the listed June grass) are fairly hard to identify when they are just starting. Maybe in a month we’ll have a longer list.
