    That's so cool. Thank you for teaching me something! I too have an affinity for these kinds of flowers- in particular the weeds that have tiny "blooms" that look like daisies!

    Did you just throw seed on top of the mulch?

  • @LetHimEatCake
    @LetHimEatCake29 күн бұрын

    For the poppies I did, focusing around the drip line so that if I wanted to I could irrigate any that germinated.

    Hey there, this is a beautiful garden! I've been using your videos to cross reference how my garden is doing further down in the Valley. Just a heads up about the Sweet Alyssum, it's a mediterranean native that's actually becoming somewhat invasive because it keeps getting added to California wildflower seed packets. Same with bachelor's buttons. Happy gardening!

    Bummer! That’s obnoxious. I’ve had family buy me wildflower mixes thinking “wild” means “native” - thought I’d been selective about what I’d actually opened but I guess not selective enough…

    I have deer in my garden too (Berkeley). I'm trying some of the spray that is harmless but smells bad to discourage deer. I planted some tar weed (Madia elegans). I didn't know they discourage deer. Thanks for the tip. The deer seem to leave the "deer resistant" plants alone until the flowers bloom. Then ... chomp ... chomp... bye bye. :) Thanks for sharing the videos.

    Yeah that’s definitely the case for some of the plants I’ve got like the buckwheat in particular. But they do leave all my native sages along and last year they didn’t touch my penstemon so there is hope in some places! I keep saying ok that’s it I’m only planting sages and penstemon from now on. Then I go to the nursery and come home with a deer salad! It’s a disease.

    Goodluck with the Salvia apiana and other Southern California natives. You guys get a lot more rain than theyre comfortable with. I would look into California Junipers, hibiscus lasiocarpos var. occidentalis, Northern Arctostaphylos species, and Corylus Cornuta, are good ones that would really thrive in ur garden
