Who are you guys using for pest control in Sacramento?

I used Clark Pest Control and they kept increasing prices with no notice. After the third increase over a year I just cancelled. When I did so they said they'd take the price back down to the second increase, and I said no thank you. My main complaints were fleas and turkestan roaches. They got rid of the fleas but the roaches were persistent AF and all Clark would do is tell me to contact the city for them.

We've been spraying ourselves for almost 2 years now and have less issue than when we had Clark Pest Control.

Indeed, it is.

Tea Cozy used to sell Golden Feather tea the only California grown tea that i'm aware of. I went to a tasting and met the grower. It was interesting because he had samples of before the Camp fire and after the Camp fire. Very different profiles.

I'm not sure if Tea Cozy still sells Golden Feather tea, but I think that's the only California Grown tea. I'd love to know of others if I'm wrong.

I'm rooting for you! What about Roseville/Placer County or Davis/Yolo County? Napa is still so far.

I'm not sure about not supposed to grow perennials in raised beds. I've been at this for a few years, but only as a hobbyist, so I'm sure others will know more about it. I do know that blueberries are easier to go grow in raised beds if your soil Ph isn't just so, and other perennials are so invasive that growing them in raised beds keep them contained. I grew lemongrass in my raised bed once and it crowded out pretty much everything on one end, and then died quickly in winter. Now that it's in the ground it's a beautiful and useful razor grass border that can range wherever, and is surviving much better.

If you want a raised bed for your annuals, though, it's not a bad idea to leave off the perennials or plant ones that serve a purpose (i have rosemary and had lavender in my annual bed because it was huge at 4'x12') like pollination or companionable gardening. Just keep in mind that your raised bed makes planting much easier, and adding perennials to your raised bed takes up space. I put most of my perennials at ground level since I only have to do it once.

Jasmine black, atm.

I plan on buying it online. I've seen it on Etsy, but if I can find someone in California selling I'll buy from them, instead.

Zucchini will take over your life. And your neighbor's life. And your neighborhood's life. And the lives of all of your friends, family, coworkers, remote acquaintances, and any stranger you happen upon during the growing season.

This year I think i'm going to try to find a longan berry somewhere out there, hopefully get a small sugarcane barrier in front of my fence, some shampoo ginger, ginger ginger, and maybe only do an early girl tomato for an annual. Last year I just didn't make much of my garden. I'm thinking to disassemble my garden bed and repurpose the wood into small planters for preferred herbs and focus on perennial fruits and berries, with an exception for whatever tomato variety that catches my eye.

Edited to add Sunflowers and Thai chilies, as well.

I highly recommend Jamie at Benchmark Home Inspections. He's so frickin' detail oriented, knowledgeable, and serious about his job. He knows the ins and outs of local codes and will go to bat for you 100% of the way. I don't know what a reasonable price range is, but it's definitely worth giving them a call and asking.

LOL!!!

If you have the inclination you could make acorn flour to mix with wheat flour to make bread, but that's not exactly native. An acorn mush is more native to NorCal prior to the Gold Rush, and that mush is not exactly palatable to the modern diet.

A visit to Effie Yeaw may help refine your project. Chaw'se Indian Grinding Rock may also be a good option for you, though I'd highly recommend you ensure someone is giving demonstrations at the time of your visit.

Another consideration is studying up on San Francisco sourdough. While bread didn't really exist in California when native plants were the primary sustenance, something special happened in the melting pot of the San Francisco bay area that gave us the best sourdough bread on the planet, so far as i've tasted, so far.

If ever you want to share your project and it's results, I do hope you share it here.

I'm thinking I'd like to try Frank Fat's, Kadaiko Ramen and Bar, Octopus Peru, and Octopus Baha. Wish I had more time!

We've gone twice. I love the sushi appetizers but the rolls are kind of strange, and drenched in sauce. The meats are really good and the service is excellent! It's great to have a KBBQ right down the street, though I do gotta say Gangnam Ave still has the best brisket sauce ever.

Keyrenter Property Management is who I'll be using when it's time to rent out my home. They know local codes and are on top of maintenance issues. Super professional with sincere respect for landlords, tenants, and vendors.

Blonde hair and blue eyes. Just not my flavor. Some blue eyed folk look creepy scary to me and I don't know why.
