Today it looks a lot more like November, with rain, strong winds, and swirling leaves, though it’s still in the 60s for now.  Today I began the project of manually weed-whipping the “prairie” and mulching around each tree.  It will take a while, but the end result will look a lot more like a meadow and grove of trees.  Judging by these seedlings, next fall will be very colorful.
