The white flags dotted everywhere mark a plant.
There was a row of florescent orangey pink flags to mark where the gas line is. At some point the City is coming to plant a tree. Even they have to “call before you dig“.
The flags make it very easy to tell which plants are, um, plants, and which are weeds: if the plant doesn’t have a flag beside it, it’s most likely a weed.
(Exceptions: the pathways of sedges, and the cluster of columbines.)
It’s amazing how much stress that takes out of the weeding process. The shrubs should become more obviously shrubs over time, but in the spring, it’s going to be difficult to differentiate between the perennials and weeds, and having the plants marked will make weeding easier for someone who can’t easily tell the difference.
