We told you there was more radish!

A small but determined group ascended Bayview Hill on Saturday morning, July 12th to do battle with the remaining radish around the radio tower. The radish plants had grown a lot since our last visit and were covered with seed pods. Fortunately, very few seeds had matured. The ground was dry and hard, so we were surprised at how often we got the radish roots, but we piled the truck bed high. Good riddance!
Our reward, besides a much improved area for native plants, was seed collection. We hunted and gathered seeds from Soap plant (Chlorogalum pomeridianum), Bee plant (Scrophularia californica) and Tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia caespitposa). The seeds will be used to grow seedlings at the nursery for planting in natural areas.
As always, it’s beautiful up on the hill. It’s golden like most California hills this time of year, and it feels far away from the City even though the City is RIGHT THERE. (The views are breathtaking.) Isn’t that a good reason to visit Bayview Hill? We hope to see you up there sometime soon.
