Forgot to mention...I have one weed here, don't know if it's native or introduced, but it's everywhere...spreads by seed and runners...grows to about 1' tall. I suspect it's an artemisia. Do you suppose the lack of weeds in the natives is due to alelopathy...or less water that would normally support the usual weeds? It grows amongst everything...native salvia, matilija. I went out to take a pic and find that there really isn't any right now....it's not in 'full swing'.at the moment. Stiil I'm usually out there pulling it out of the salvias and I'm not finding any there now. So either it's just not started yet or there's hope that it will disappear. I don't know what it's called, but I suspect it's an artemisia.....
This is what it looks like...anyone know what it is? I've never bothered to find out, just curse it namelessly.....
In the pics, it is the small (now), small plant with the lobed leaves.....
