Saplings

each green tube contains a sapling of some sort: live oak mostly. The dew collects on the mesh, and drips down to the plants.

Rain Collector

500 gallon tank to collect rain water, for irrigation of plants and so forth. Rain is collected from the side of the cliff mostly, and piped into this storage tank

Remnants

previous owners left a lot of stuff behind, including this wagon.
