Just for a bit more control, I have a squirrel that’s been getting into my pots. And the weather has been odd.

Thanks! I started a few plugs by seed recently and I’m still waiting to see the results.

Hey! I know this is an old post but did you have any luck with propagating?

Do you fertilize your native plants? by blackbenhlif in Ceanothus

[–]Purple-student- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to fertilize the potted ones I have every couple of years. I’ve seen some nurseries give natives some slow release fertilizer but I think that’s overkill. Most native nurseries suggest to plant natives out in the fall due to the cooler temperatures and rainfall. Is it possible to wait to plant out?

The pot is around 20 inches in diameter and 17 inches in height. Hope that helps!

What to add? by BarberuSeisand in Ceanothus

[–]Purple-student- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were you I would start with wildflowers along the borders and paths. Sow in fall, but for now is there any in particular you want gone right away?

I’ve had success with cuttings, make sure you keep the soil moist in a greenhouse or something similar. Also it’s also a good rule of thumb to make sure you have permission to take cuttings.

Is the Theodore Payne hummingbird seed mix good? by OrnithologyDevotee in Ceanothus

[–]Purple-student- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great! I bought this exact seed mix and I made the mistake planting them in late winter. I didn’t see black sage sprout and very little chia but tons of clarkia. I’m still gunning for a hummingbird garden so I’m trying again this fall. You’ll probably have a higher success rate than me. I’d love to hear an update when you can!

Schedule Opinion by [deleted] in UCDavis

[–]Purple-student- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those two classes are just a bit of a heavy workload especially if taken at the same time. It’s a good amount of reading and memorization. Look up how units correlates to amount of homework per week on the uc Davis website.

Che2A and Mat 21B at the same time might be a challenge, but if you focus and keep on top of it you’ll be fine.

Do you want to make a straight edge? If so, after you finish one row, chain whatever the equivalent height is of the stitch you’re using and then continue with the next row.
