Tuesday at 9am was gray and overcast, so it was good working weather. Plenty of volunteers were on site including: Steve Davis, Bill Dobner, Dale Harshberger, Beverly Kemmerling, Julie Moffat, Daryl Stutley, Nancy Taylor Walker, Janet Wall, Marna Wensil, Anna Wiktor-Becker, Ann Wright, and myself. Steve proposed that we focus on the Native Gardens and weed out the seedling oaks and toyons if they were destined to encroach on a path or on another more desirable plant. Seedlings and saplings more favorably located were left to grow.
Below is the size of many of the seedlings. Plucking them out at this stage limits the job of repeatedly cutting them down later.
It is also a good practice for identifying seedlings that often have leaves that are very different from those of the mature plant. In this case, the ID is simple as the young leaves resemble the adult form. Toyon is left and coast live oak right.
Speaking about oaks, last week we found a single acorn on the island oak. This week we relocated it and “bagged” it.
Here is the protected acorn. If one lives in an area with squirrels (and/or other animals that feed on plant material), it is sometimes useful to bag seeds in a mesh gift bag allowing them to mature undisturbed. Also, if the seed drops to the ground it may never be found. This is a 4x6 inch organza bag. We’ll see how it holds up.
Up in the rare fruit orchard we noticed a couple of CA Dept. of Agriculture workers.
Turns out that starting in 2004, the senior worker has been using the grove to train new staff on recognizing various exotic fruit trees.
There are lots of individual images of volunteers, but the one I’ll include is one of Daryl wielding her mattock or pick mattock.
Finally the Mexican sage along the service road is in full bloom at the moment, though is it in the no-man’s-land between the signs that warn visitors from using that road.
Many thanks to Nancy, Beverly and Steve for their images.
Enjoy the garden….KMM
Reading the October 7, 2025 garden update from Conejo Garden, I found the section on preparing soil for cool-season crops and tidying summer beds quite practical, especially the reminder about improving compost before late autumn planting. While browsing for study support, I came across New Assignment Help and a mention of Professional Assignment Help, which I noted casually in relation to managing academic workload during busy seasons. Interestingly, New Assignment Help appeared in my notes as a reference point, though I mostly stayed focused on the gardening ideas shared in the article.
Why You Should Always Check Kundli Matching Before Marriage
Have you ever wondered why some couples slide into a lifetime of effortless companionship while others, who seem perfectly matched on paper, end up in a spiral of endless arguments? Falling in love is a beautiful, intoxicating experience, but sustaining a marriage requires a deep alignment that goes far beyond shared hobbies, physical attraction, or financial compatibility. In the Vedic tradition, marriage is viewed as a union of two distinct souls across lifetimes. To ensure these souls can walk the same path harmoniously, ancient seers created the profound science of Kundli Matching (Ashta Koota Milan).
Checking your compatibility before taking the plunge isn't about letting superstition run your life; it is…
Eid ul Adha is one of the most important festivals in Islam, celebrated to remember the great sacrifice and obedience of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S). Muslims around the world offer Qurbani and help the poor by sharing meat with them. The lesson behind why we celebrate eid ul adha is to teach devotion, patience, and submission to Allah’s command. This blessed occasion also strengthens unity, kindness, and brotherhood among Muslims. Eid ul Adha reminds us to sacrifice our desires for the sake of faith and righteousness.
Con la experiencia en el juego online, cada vez tengo más claro que la plataforma elegida afecta directamente tanto a los resultados como a la calma al jugar. Entre varias opciones seguras, encontré https://jugabet.cl/football/live/1, que se ganó un lugar importante entre mis preferencias.
Con el tiempo entendí que lo esencial es la disciplina: registro mis apuestas, sigo una gestión estricta del bankroll y respeto los límites que me impongo. He perdido buenas oportunidades por no saber retirarme a tiempo tras rachas positivas. Esa lección fue importante para mejorar mi enfoque.
Mi recomendación es mantener una visión racional, sin impulsos, y tratar cada sesión como parte de un proceso más amplio.
This was a very interesting and informative read that I truly enjoyed. The way the author presented ideas in a simple and engaging manner made it easy to follow. As a student managing multiple assignments in Manchester, I sometimes take time to read blogs like this for motivation. At times, many learners also search for Assignment Help Manchester when they need extra academic support. Posts like this help maintain focus and encourage a positive approach toward studies.
