Kathy’s photos are freakin’ amazing!
Can we grow cojones and get rid of Todd?
Very interesting article, Thanks!
Cabrillo National Monument provides an excellent opportunity to observe native plants growing on the bluffs and cliffs. The “Weed Warriors” volunteers devote endless hours removing invasive, non-native plants.
By the way, Shaw’s Agave is native. :-)
Will you please send your outstanding article to all City Council members and the mayor. They are the ones responsible for so many instances where a Building Permit is allowed and encouraged to demolish the existing homes and foliage for developers to building multistory apts./condos, and plant concrete. Or, they do exactly as you said, remove foliage to build STR’s with no parking, and any empty space will have concrete. Yet, they seem to think that will help the Climate Action Plan they talk about being supportive of.
And the idea of taxing concrete bc of storm water runoff.
The area adjacent to our sidewalk is completely covered by succulents that Kathy generously donated to us. She is always willing to share another cutting, some harvest from her yard, a kind word, a chuckle and a smile. We are lucky to have her as a neighbor.
I am concerned about ice plant being identified as a plant that will slow down erosion on bluffs. The opposite is actually true. A much better option are native plants with deep root systems. (San Diego Marsh Elder, Dwarf Coyote Bush and many others) The California Native Plant Society is an excellent resource. Just because “We can grow anything here in San Diego” doesn’t mean we should, especially in our city parks.
