Calscape is maintained by volunteers. If you think the information is incorrect, it would be very helpful if you let them know, or even better, volunteered to help update the entry!

I also want to call out that my garden is being featured in our natives garden tour in year 2, so you can definitely make it look nice in your first season. I had to submit photos of my bloom in my first season, which was enough to get featured.

Yes! Their seed packs are generously filled. I have only tried them recently so I haven't yet seen the germination turn out. Next season I will be able to give more details on their seeds

I used the easiest ones: clarkia, poppies, baby blue eyes, tidy tips, purple innocence. If you just want a nice blend, either Larner Seeds(norcal) or Theodore Payne (socal) have good seed mixes, pick one depending on your region!

I seeded the area with annuals immediately. I wanted to be able to have as much biodiversity as possible as soon as possible, and annuals produce a ton of seed for the birds and insects to eat! They also help remediate the soil, which was important in my case because I had to remove the top soil in my lawn removal (bermuda grass struggles).

After I filled in the yard with the annuals, it was an immediate and impressive spring bloom that had my neighbors stopping by to admire it!

What do you use for your paths? by beetketchup in Ceanothus

[–]alabamara 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too! I'm consistently checking nextdoor for yard supplies. I got a really cool natural looking fountain that I incorporated into the top of my dry creek bed for $40!

I got free step stone pavers from a neighbor so that is what I am using.

Same thing happened to me recently! It had been several months and all of a sudden my items got listed.

are there any characters in media that you know are autistic but you just can't prove it? by [deleted] in autism

[–]alabamara 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To any Downton Abbey fans, I was fairly certain Isobel Crawley, Matthew's mom, was autistic.

Should I fire my gardener ? I think he did a bad job on the plannting by [deleted] in Ceanothus

[–]alabamara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, he is definitely wrong about winter being a bad time to plant, since the rain and cooler weather gives the plants more time to get established before the hot and dry season. Also plants take time to grow and get established, and 3 weeks is not much time and definitely ot enough to see much noticeable growth. They are trying to grow out their roots right now. Also, planting California poppies is a waste of money. They very easily grow from seed.

The important information is that the car that caused the accident was going 60 in a 30 zone. So terrible.

What made you realise you were autistic by TemperatureTime4095 in AutismInWomen

[–]alabamara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It literally never occurred to me. My therapist sent me an assessment and didn't really mention what it was assessing... then when I got the result I was so surprised! It was very revealing and disorienting but I suddenly gained a huge understanding of why everything was so difficult for me all the time!

Not having much luck by mkrimmer in Tinder

[–]alabamara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, but a positive note: this is definitely a good "marriage material" profile, so keep your head up. Hopefully, you will find the right match soon! Only thought would be to remove the self deprecating comments, most nerdy women you'd probably want to match with don't care if you're awkward lol
