planting season the rains have arrived. the time has come to visit your neighborhood native plant seller or purveyor of other fine mediterranean (read: drought loving) flora. bring plants home, and put them in your garden immediately. a long season of rain foundationally supports the health and continued vibrancy of new plantings. many natives 'sleep' during the summer. use this time to watch these bay area denizens wake up with the rain. i brought home with me today 2 douglas irises and an indian thistle (Cirsium brevistylum and Iris douglasiana) most nurseries have selections of native plants. do inquire about light preference if you are not aware of the plants' habits. in my neighborhood, the haight-ashbury recycling center, beside kezar stadium, keeps a native plant nursery run by bay area naturalist, Gregg Gaar. Gregg collects wild seed locally, and propagates natives for sharing and for our enjoyment. the nursery asks a donation of $5. welcome your new plants. and then the native fauna will too. peace -- namaste douglas Posted 11/09/2006 link
