Dry spell

• Ulu were looking rather dry: spent about 2 hours watering them with long hoses and buckets as well as weeding the surrounding pasture.
• Rollinia was looking dry as well -- watered for about 20 minutes
• Pig barriers seem to be holding up around Rollinia and junior Ma'afala
• Moved three coconut sprouts in 3 gal pots to "peninsula" and spent some time hacking back the waiawi there (45 mins)
• Weeds in pasture are diversifying, still dominated by papyrus-like tall grass
•
