Early in the morning I went mowing on the Ridge, halfway at the large open space.
I mowed 1 hr. with the Shindaiwa. To the south: there is a little swampy valley. I mowed the outer circle of rushes around that swamp. Further south you climb to the Pinus devoniana and Pinus montezumae. 
And east: along the Ridge up to the first track down from Eucalyptus alpina etc.
To the north: the open space up to the track that leads back to the Reserve (with the very very big Betula.
In the shadow the grass is still a bit wet, but after one hour of working (partly in the shade, partly in the sun) I get very warm!
Next I do one hour of raking, around the little swamp.
In the centre of the swamp: 1 seedling ??? and 1 protection ???
todo: clean up the old burning spot in the open space to the north, close to the big Radiata Pine.
south: mowe again after 2 wks.
I made some pictures:
of the Eucalyptus-group halfway the Ridge.
of the Picea brachytyla – 1991 089 and another Eucalypt in the background.
of the Pseudolarix amabilis – 1990 104
Next I mowe 1 hr. further on the Ridge, with the Shindaiwo again. From WV’s Pyrus calleryana ‘Bradford’ F 3 (F2 according to the label) – 1990 195, to Celtis biondii – 1980 035.
Part of the Ridge I now mowe for the 2nd time. Around Celtis some rushes for the 1st time.
Still have to rake this!
In the afternoon I take the first track at Eucalyptus alpina down to Quercus aliena – 1968 041, and Quercus pagoda – 1973 011 (extremely large tree!).
I mowe about 1 hr. with the Husqvarna around Q. pagoda and follow the track to the east. I also rake about 1 hr.
I take some pictures of Mallotus japonicus – 1980 024, on the Ridge. It flowers.
It was a very hot day again, although it seemed a little bit less hot than yesterday.
