September 1st week

The website's second year

 As explained last year below is what we did last year.

It is the same time of year so the weeds listed for previous years will again be showing themselves.
Maybe some have been eradicated, it is worth checking.

Big blackberry now with unfettered access. Near there are baby Crinum lilies to relocate and Crofton weed in flower (bag flowers).

Condon's corner has Turkey rhubarb sprouting under dead coast wattle. Try to remove Turk corms.

NE Corner; between three ancient fence posts cut back Lantana - but leave screen. A regrowth of African olives needs to be chopped and poisoned.

Out of The Wild More chopping along the Stony Road , more Honeysuckle , Blackberry et. al. wrestling east of the cycleway, further Lily hunting and some planting of very locally sourced natives. There are also a few checks needed on Montbretia , Velcro , Madeira , Noogura , Asthma Weed , Cape Ivy & Stonecrop . Noogura  2022 Work list  Time to go back up the creek to a few areas we have neglected recently. Pearl Vine , a native creeper/climber, ( Sarcopetalum harveyanum ) has taken off & we need to prune it from shrubs & small trees before they disappear. Secateurs required, or vast patience & dexterity. There is also a big Mothy near the Gillett bridge , plus some Turkey Rhubarb , Cape Ivy & Morning Glory to be removed near our Prize Fig . A brave soul or two might venture into Lisa's Site and micro-weeders could enjoy the baby Privet et al sprouting in Manifest Destiny . Any 1 or 3 feeling more coastal can take on the free-up weeding of our SE Corner

No Work Today Forecast suggests there is only a 5% chance of no rain. Montbretia mining & vine peeling from valued natives would have been the priorities. 2023 Urgent tasks are; weeding the tree fall clearing a big Moth Vine in flower Japanese Honeysuckle spreading towards the Blady Grass Morning Glory flowering in the Blady Grass Blackberry , Lilies , Bidens , Fleabane , Nightshade along the south edge of the New Forest . 2022 Weed of the week Balloon Cottonbush was from South Africa originally. We also have a Polygala garden escapee that looks similar until the balloon stage.   So, start in the grassy areas where Montbretia , Lilies , Cottonbush et al are blooming and move to areas where Morning Glory , Asparagus & Cassia are on the march.
