Just in case anyone is bored and wants to see the weedy mess which I'm
talking about, here's a couple of pics.

All that vegetation has created an excellent rooted, cohesive erosion
control with the rock rubble in the ditch. I'd just do the rescue of your
evergreen and seed collecting, get a weed whacker and have at it, then rake
up the dead soldiers. If you must, for esthetic sensibilities plant a border
along the top, without disturbing what's already established, so you don't
see it. Or get a bag of wild flower seeds native to your area and sprinkle
liberally on either sides of the ditch.

Excellent advice, especially the wildflowers... too many think they're
all weeds.
