I noticed yesterday I have tons of little camphor tree seedlings about 4-8″ tall in my courtyard. I Googled and find they are an invasive species… This morning I pulled up about a hundred of them from under the tree itself. I pulled up dozens of ferns with them and also cleared the ferns out of the path to the firepit.  Later I’ll pull weeds and ferns out of the sitting circle and place throw rugs down underneath the chairs, to make it more civilized for my more genteel friends.
