Native Plants and Gopher Cages

Today was all about finding California native plants to fill out my herb garden. I went to the Arboretum Plant Sale and got some great finds. We drove over to Grass Valley to the Peaceful Valley Organic Farm and Garden Supply Store, which was a bit like going to another universe. Gopher cages are for my herbs, but the California fuchsia, currants, and penstemons are on their own.

The Tigers beat the Yankees, we heard over the radio all day. The Cal Bears are beating Oregon. This is the backdrop of the day…

  1. Somebody over on the native plants listserv mentioned yesterday that squirrels—presumably tree squirrels—love cilantro. You probably don’t have many of those there, but aren’t annoying little mammals just the damnedest things?
