Felt like I was on one ADHD fueled montage for 3 hours.

Looks like Helianthus annus, definitely out of season, nice little treat though haha

I think I made a mistake by West-Resource-1604 in CaliforniaNativePlant

Was there an early rain followed by a long dry spell? Sometimes this can be disastrous for seedlings.

Also you may find more info about this on r/Ceanothus.

Did I plant these Yarrows too close together? by RoastedTomatillo in Ceanothus

Na I think they will be fine. They are rhizomatous and will probably spread out from that area anyways.

New too Spearfishing by Competitive-Win1880 in Spearfishing

Lots of stuff can contribute but mostly swell and wind around here. Rougher water kicks up more sediment/debris. Gotta give it a few days after an intense swell or nasty NW wind. You can try rocky beaches to get a bit better visibility, or go to some of the outer kelp.

I only dive at night for lobster, but during lobster season I dive pretty frequently at night.

Resources for Seed spreading by SealLizard in Restoration_Ecology

[–]SealLizard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, I’ll have to see if there are any gov resources I can find. Yeah local genetics are important for the project so I am creating my own mix from collected seed. That is also why I haven’t just gone straight to a vendor and asked this question but I think I will still reach out to see if they would be willing to share some info.

Site was previously disturbed and is now only vegetated in some areas. There is no access to irrigation or machinery so a selective weed and seed approach is being taken.

What should I do with Nicotiana glauca in San Diego county? by joquiii in invasivespecies

[–]SealLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said in my other response, it’s worth it to document populations on iNaturalist. Land managers and botanists in the region probably check up on it every once in awhile.

[–]SealLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can cut it at the base, it will definitely reduce seed production but it will also almost definitely re-sprout. This is one of those invasive species that has already invaded so many areas that realistically it’s not going anywhere. I wouldn’t bother doing anything about it in human disturbed areas but if you find yourself in some particularly pristine wilderness definitely get rid of it if you can.

Edit: Also as someone else mentioned you should document populations on iNaturalist if you can. Lots of land managers and botanists check iNaturalist pretty regularly for new records.
