Common Garden Update

There seems to be more and more new Torrey pines sprouting, but there are still only a few, so far, that have germinated. Although, I believe that they take longer to germinate due to the shell being thick and hard to break open (Image 1). Right now, majority of the growth is the leaf litter and high water. There is only one in zero leaf litter and high water, and no growth in the rest (Image 2).
