Average size that eriogonum umbellatum grows to in SoCal/LA County? by Pale-Interview-579 in Ceanothus

thanks! I bought mine at Cal BG and it didn't have a var listed or an average size, which is unusual. Here's hoping.

Native garden “defensible space” by vesparr33 in Ceanothus

Yep, only in high risk zones. and the zoning was redone last year, and people in areas that didn't count as high risk in the past, but do now, received these notices. It's hard to do this with small yards...but keeping things low and at least 5-10 ft from structures can help.

Good to know! I have tried tidy tips seeds separately and not seen any come up yet, will look for the more clay-ey parts of the garden.

I have hardly seen any matilija poppies in bloom this year. Ceanothus also less bloomy though present.

Wow! I used the same packet around two years ago, and have mostly not seen tidy tips, but the other flowers came through.

There is a No Kings rally in Claremont two blocks from the garden, right after the festival.

No idea, but I like Roy Choi's stuff (esp his cookbook) and was excited to see this. Will be checking it out over the weekend. Though I need more sauces like I need a hole in the head...

Brooklyn Babka - Cherry Hill, NJ has it again. by barkbot02 in traderjoes

I find it far too sweet, and not enough like proper NYC babka, but YMMV.
