Last Sunday (Sept 11), we worked on the Arboretum side for the first time in a long time. I suppose, technically, we worked in the area that John called the Arboretum Annex--south of the Arboretum and basically near the corner of Corliss and N. 150th Street (but can't get to the area from that corner). We still met on the Meridian side and Jim, Gordon and I set off for the Arboretum side with a wheelbarrow and tools. Jim brought one of his garbage cans. Later, Gary joined us.
Yikes! The morning glory was awful. I worked in this one area:
It looked a bit better later:
Similarly, here are the before and after photos of the area that the guys worked on:
On the bright side, there was a lovely patch of piggyback plant along the trail, beneath a vine maple:
On the other hand, I walked in the opposite direction and looked out beyond the Garry Oak. The knotweed was thriving by the wetland.
So, that was this past Sunday!
