On our next property I intend to plant all natives (and extremely drought tolerant plants also). I'm really looking forward to it. We've been on this property long enough for some of the natives to re-establish themselves. I'm always thrilled to find more toyon and rhus seedlings popping up here and there...and the oaks. This property was at one time avocado orchard and when we got here they were almost all dead. I'm happy to see it reverting to what it should be. I've helped it along by establishing a large stand of matilija and native salvias. I'd hoped to get some of the native asclepias established, but we'll move on before then and that will be part of the plantings for the next property.
