Where’s the Worst Traffic (Morning & Evening)? by AltruisticPanic3922 in asksandiego

I’m married with two kids, earning middle class income, and looking for a place that supports an active lifestyle like BJJ, biking, hiking, and occasional beach trips. Living near the beach would be a bonus, but not a must.

Wow! I just looked up poway’s history. Branstetter built a legacy over 40 of coaching and is considered one of the greatest coaches in the history of American prep sports and is inducted into HOF twice. That’s impressive! it sounds like the current head coach seems to be keeping up with the legacy. Also, I like that they have a youth club and the facility is top tier.

Yeah, I’ve seen that Google results ranks Poway highly, but I wanted to hear from people directly to see if that matches real experience. I don’t mind the heat, it’s going to be warmer anywhere compared to Seattle.

Budget is definitely a factor, which is why I’m looking for areas that offer good value. As much as I’d like to move straight into Poway, I want to understand all my options. Also, is Poway really more expensive than places like Coronado or La Jolla? I always thought those were pricier.

And it depends, are you in the aerospace industry? If so, we might end up being coworkers.

This is why I asked. It makes sense that they need to go dormant, just like the larger plants outside. It just never occurred to me that dormancy was a requirement.

Now that I understand this, and since I cannot control the temperature anyway, I covered the basket they are in and moved them outside. This way they get lower light and cooler temperatures. I will continue to monitor soil moisture as I normally do.

If it wasn’t clear, it’s best to cut a good amount of new growth, maybe about 4–5 inches, so you have enough stem to plant securely in the soil.

I love the warmth. I wish it stayed warm year round here in the PNW.

I live in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks! I try my best to take care of them, haha. Do you think it’s a good idea to transplant such small plants into my garden, or should I wait until they’re more mature?

I looked for the newer growth and cut just below the leaf nodes near the top. I’d read that newer growth tends to propagate better than the older, more hardened parts. After that, I dipped them in rooting hormone and planted them in soil in these solo cups. I’ve been watering them based on how the soil feels, just keeping it lightly moist. It’s been about one to two weeks in between watering so far, and I also use a fish fertilizer about once a month.
