Chickens snacking on California buckwheat and Toyon berries. (Please note Toyon is legally protected in CA and cannot be foraged from the wild. We have our own plants to harvest from).

Both plants are drought tolerant and native to Southern California. The Toyon berries are a bit too fibrous for my taste (eating them is like trying to eat cherry flavored chewing gum), but the buckwheat produces an acceptable flour substitute (from gorgeous seed heads not pictured). I'm pruning back the buckwheat to shape it up for next year, so chickens get the prunings. The young shots of the buckwheat are extremely tasty, especially when added to salad (they have a sour lemon taste like sorrel).

Heteromeles arbutifolia. Now known as Toyon, used to be known as Christmas Berry. It was used in Christmas wreathes by modern settlers in Los Angeles due to its similarity to Holly.

Christmas 2023

Christmas Letter 2023 from Pamela & Joe

2023 started with Pamela starting work as a Product Coach for the IT department of the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). The initial expectation was that she would travel to New York once a quarter. For the first few months it was more like once every 2-4 weeks. She knew the staff in the nearby hotel by name and even figured out her favorite room locations. Even worked out the number of the…

Best Trees To Plant Instead of Palm Trees in Southern California

Palm trees require massive amounts of water and provide little shade. The palms also face a threat from fungus and a destructive weevil that is decimating the palm population in the city. Even the native bird populations don’t like nesting in them. As our climate continues to warm, we should replace palm trees and other nonnative plants with a more sustainable choice. City planners have announced that any dead palm trees will not be replaced with more palms and instead would be replaced with trees that require less water, offer more shade, and have longer lifespans.

THE ADVANTAGE OF NATIVE TREES

As we mentioned above, native trees are a great choice for Southern California yards. Native plants are well-adapted to our hot and dry climate. They require less water and can provide shade. Here is a list of the best trees that are adapted to the Southern California climate.

The Toyon Plant Thrives Photosynthetically!

Seeing the Toyon plant thrive under the beautiful sunny weather is remarkable; the photosynthetic veins of this plant allow mother nature to soak in the sun’s warmth! #shotoniphone

Seeing the Toyon plant thrive under the beautiful sunny weather is remarkable; the photosynthetic veins of this plant allow mother nature to soak in the sun’s warmth! It’s lovely to see the way mother nature embraces the sunny weather at this time of the year, and this Toyon plant shows her ability to soak in not only the warmth but the breeze from the sunny weather too!

Toyon and Chrismas Berry. Heteromeles arbutifolia.

Needs some summer water - notice the dead branch in photo caused by lack of summer water during recent drought.
