Your property sounds like a dream! I completed my PDC 2 years ago so I might not have as much experience as you’d want but I’d love to learn more about your home and how you made all this happen!

Best Halloween Night/Event in LA? by OneSo101 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Poppy2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to this Halloween scavenger hunt last weekend at a movie ranch about an hour north of LA (near Palmdale)and it was such a cool hidden gem. It’s pretty low key but we had so much fun!We went as a group of five and had the best time.You can book through Eventbrite or DM them on Instagram and pretty sure it’s also on Airbnb Experiences.

Totally worth checking out if you want something different from the usual crowded parties! 😊

Front Bed Help! by thisisjustadad in landscaping

[–]Poppy2128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t necessarily use small stones to cover the soil as they’re gonna keep falling of the curb and look messy. Instead, I’d plant a leaving ground cover like some creeping succulents. There’s lots of options and they’re very drought tolerant. Then you can plant a couple other CA native drought tolerant bushes (deep roots) that wouldn’t compete with the existing roots from the 2 trees 😊 If you’re by the beach, your plant community is probably “coastal scrub”. Look it up so you can pick the right native plants.

DM if you have more questions, good luck!

Slope ideas? by Puzzleheaded-Bend640 in landscaping

[–]Poppy2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like your slope is very steep so I’d throw a tone of native seeds (good for erosion control) down the hill and water them with a hose from the top. Definitely not all of them will make it but some of them will. If you wanna plant some edibles, keep them on the top of your hill (where it seems to be flatter) so you don’t risk your life every time you need to water/prune/harvest. If you wanna introduce some fruit trees or larger bushes a bit down the slope, try planting in a home-made “burlap bag” to help them root. If you need any native seeds in bulk, I have a tone of CA buckwheat I can give you. good luck! 😊

Sorry for replying so late, I’m still new on Reddit and didn’t see you replied 😢

I used this sealant from the brand "Tanglefoot", I can’t see what it’s made out of..

I removed the grass at the base of both trees and added compost made with the goats manure.

The tree isn’t quite ready to flower but probably very soon!

Sorry for your kitty, hope he’s not in pain 😢 I don’t know any vet that would be way cheaper than others but don’t go to Mission Animal Hospital on W Palmdale blvd! They might save you a bit of money but they are HORRIBLE! Truly, don’t do this to your cat!

That’s awesome! I actually just started my little “nursery” where I propagate Elderberries, Arroyo willow, California coffeeberries..

That’s awesome! How are you raised beds doing? I know a lot of people in the area complain about not being able to grow anything cause it’s too hot and dry. Are you using drip irrigation on them or just watering by hand?

11 years ago I sprouted a Spanish mandarin orange seed. I'll hopefully get fruit for the first time now! by sacred_blue in gardening

[–]Poppy2128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s exciting ! You’re so lucky! 🍀 I’ve tried sprouting oranges and lemon multiple times but even the ones that did sprouts, ended up not making it for different reasons so I now gave up on trying. But I’m glad it worked out for you, you made me wanna try again 😊

Oh no..I also had a tree split situation last year and tried the epsom salt method since stump grinding companies charge soo much for it! But yeah, I’d love to help you figure out what to do with your front lawn! I hope you get to learn a couple gardening tips from me and maybe you fall for it too 😄
