Garden Salvage Survey - Map weed distribution, identify edible/medicinal species, mark are

**GARDEN SALVAGE SURVEY** **Objective:** Stop guessing. The perimeter is a mess of invasive sprawl and potential assets. I need a precise spatial map of the current vegetation before I touch a single trowel or risk wasting Grandma’s seeds on contaminated soil. **Tasks:** 1. **Grid Mapping:** Divide the salvage plot into 2-meter quadrants. No "general areas"—I want exact coordinates for every cluster of growth. 2. **Taxonomic ID:** * *Weeds:* Identify the aggressive colonizers. Mark for immediate extraction. * *Assets:* Identify edible/medicinal species. (Check for *Urtica* or anything resembling the mainland cultivars). 3. **Zoning:** * **Red Zone:** Total clearing. Soil needs scrubbing. * **Green Zone:** Preservation. Integrate existing beneficials into the new layout. * **Yellow Zone:** Observation. Not sure yet; leave it alone until Day 100. **Notes:** Kevin keeps saying "it looks fine," but "fine" isn't a botanical classification. If I don't document the baseline now, we're just gardening in the dark. **Tools needed:** Field sketchbook, 0.3mm pigment liners, measuring tape, sample bags, and the patience to deal with Kevin's "helpful" suggestions.
