Again this year, we did almost no work here.  I sprayed for Garlic Mustard in the middle and the 3rd finger, but that was all.

12/1/2023  This is part of the beginning of Goldenrod Valley – the first – easternmost – finger.  There are a few areas here that are less weedy and have less goldenrod than the rest.  I suspect they have sandier soil, but I don’t really know.  This is the largest of those areas, and it seems to be growing.
