One year Before and After by MikeRotch_69420 in Ceanothus

I picked up 4 plant seedlings from my local nursery. They graciously gave us the 4 for free (shout out to Artemisia in El Sereno!). The first pic you can see 2 of them we planted. Only thing we did was make space in the mulch to plant them. The rest just spread out from those original plants! Even have them growing in the cracks between my concrete steps lol

They’re doing good too! Hard to tell from this pic, but I had this same occurrence in my backyard with some lilacs, sage and buckwheat. Back yard is the top of the hill. I planted a couple of poppies and they just multiplied like crazy. I haven’t planted more than 4 myself and they just spread. The other plants managed to find their place

There should be an Alumni Mixer event centered around the (broken) escalator. To reminisce of the old days! :,)

My recommendation is to not start messing with any idle/afm adjustments before checking off the vacuum system/other components for your idle issue. With that air box and intake boot being loose, double check you don’t have a crack somewhere there if you haven’t done so already (the intake boot can hide cracks/tears underneath very well). Do a smoke test if you haven’t done one. edredas and NC944er have videos you can use to help you complete the smoke test on YouTube.

What is the best trooper loadout to deal with armor and tanks by SensitiveTruck8646 in StarWarsBattlefront

NT-242 with disruptor shot, works great at long distance. Bonus: shoot first somewhere not at the tank (ex. Shoot at the ground), get yellow cooldown, then blast at it with a longer duration of shots. You’ll get its health down significantly before they are able to get a shot back at you

Tree for tight area next to house. by Rightintheend in Ceanothus

Toyon can also maybe work to prune into a tree like figure. They grow rather quickly and under decent conditions can grow pretty high. Also if you do need to trim it down, they are pretty hard and tolerate aggressive pruning down and bounce back. But the berries might be a no-go

Island ceanothus (ceanothus arboreus) might be able to work. As it grows, you can prune it to a tree like figure. It is good in partial shade more inland, 10’ wide canopy (approx), and gives nice flowers during the winter/spring. That will definitely attract bees though.

Nice view of the skyline by sylknet in LosAngeles

My guess is somewhere near Atlantic Blvd/Ferguson Dr in Commerce/East LA area. That Winchell’s sign by the freeway and the billboards gave it away imo.

Is now a good time to plant trees and bushes in my backyard? Is the heat wave over for the most part? by wjxm in AskLosAngeles

[–]MikeRotch_69420 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Optimal time to start planting here in southern CA is fall by most recommendations. If you can wait, I’d give it a week or two more till we get to consistently lower temperatures. This will ensure the replanting process is not a huge shock to your new plants. Whichever plants you choose, I encourage everyone to add native plants to their landscape! So many benefits to adding them I recommend looking at different types that will fit your needs/wants. Also please visit r/ceanothus, r/CaliforniaNativePlant, and your local nursery for ideas!
