12/3/10 Blanchard Park

     I've been pullng Cesar Weed out of this park for a year. Now I've begun an assault on the biggest and longest standing stand of plants. These plants are ten feet tall and six feet across. The rangers offered to dispose of any exotics I pull out and pile up. In the top picture you can see a large pile of Cesar Weeds the camophlaged things on the right side of the pile are my gloves.  I'd like to see them burned but there are just too many plants for me to burn myself.
    The second picture is the battle line. One the right native Florida plants. On the left a wall of Cesar Weed. I claimed about thirty more feet back from the invasive plants today.
