We don't mulch many of the beds because some of the native bees are ground nesters and thats what our resident entomologist out of UC Berkley recomends. The foothills around here are full of Scotch Broom and non-native Blackberry. Do you have those? Envy you your zone. I was born at Longbeach moved before i could remeber. Been back in California here is Sac since 81' and its starting to get a little to crowded for me but not yet like the southern cal area. thanks for the info and picture. I wonder what polinates your Chasmanthe?This is Me In the Toyon at old family property outside Nevada City. Checking out the crop for our Christmass wreath making.
