It must feel so good to see them on your own land. That little fern is a treasure. We have a similar species here in rocky parts of Texas. I also LOVE that native witch hazel. I'm no expert on the subject, but I think you will be THRILLED at what you&#Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495040805660192347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053337601505232620.post-15017986594758277772013-11-26T11:15:10.739+10:002013-11-26T11:15:10.739+10:00There is so much excitement when we see our native...There is so much excitement when we see our natives return....what great progress you have made.

It will be a project that will last for a few years though, so we're not expecting overnight success.

I will be planting some natives before the really heavy rains arrive, but only a few. We're hoping that Mother Nature will step up and provide more natives for us.BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053337601505232620.post-11854213556037409052013-11-24T08:12:55.265+10:002013-11-24T08:12:55.265+10:00The first real test will occur after this coming w...The first real test will occur after this coming wet season, Shirley. We'll be holding our breath till then, around about April next year.
