Here are which wildflower seeds to plant, where to buy them - Record Searchlight

If this is the case you might consider using a non-native erosion-control mix that contains rye grass and crimson clover. These tend to sprout up quickly, even now when soil temperatures are cooler, have some flowers and are affordable. They may require a bit of weed whacking in the spring but usually do not produce a lot of heavy grass or become invasive in non-irrigated sites. These seed mixes can be found locally at feed stores — including Palo Cedro Feed or Hawes Farm Supply — and some landscape supply places.Another common reason for planting wildflowers is to support native insects and pollinators. In this case you will want to plant a California Native wildflower mix that is formulated for the Central Valley — more specifically for pollinators. The Central Valley mixes contain plants that will germinate in the spring and flower before the soil dries out and the plants die back.A couple things to consider when planting a wildflower mix is the cost per planting area, and if the mix contains plants that are toxic or have sticky seeds that will pose problems for livestock and pets.Seeding rates for wildflower mixes range from nine to 20 pounds or more per acre, so be sure to check the planting rate per acre before purchase. This may not be as much of a concern if you are planting a smaller area, but the cost can still very a lot between seed mixes.If livestock might be grazing on the area you are planting, you will want to avoid mixes containing lupine or butterfly weed. These are poisonous if ingested.Also some mixes may contain plants that produce seeds that stick to the coats of pets or your socks, such as forget me nots.California has several online sources for bulk native wildflower seed. Some native plant nurseries have more custom mixes such as a butterfly mix or a foothill mix. Hedgerow Farms in Winters sells native grass and wildflower seed including a custom mix of cen...

What plant is causing my allergies? - Record Searchlight

Pines also produce pollen, but it is generally not considered allergenic.Offending grasses and herbaceous plants include: bermudagrass, johnsongrass, ryegrass, alfalfa, pigweed, cocklebur, lambs quarter, ragweed, and Russian thistle (tumbleweed).” This list is not all-inclusive but contains most of our worst allergenic pollen producers. The allergies you are suffering could also be caused by plant in your landscape that is not common. For instance, I am allergic to the pollen from the acacia trees.It can be useful for allergy sufferers to know which pollen species are present at any given time so you can plan to avoid outdoor activities during these times. You might note that pollen levels are often given as part of the weather report on television. Pollen levels are determined by conducting a pollen count. Pollen counts measure the amount of airborne allergens present in the air at the time of sample collection.The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) has a network of pollen counters across the United States. Each counter works under the direction of an AAAAI member and the counter must first pass an intensive certification course. Counters use air sampling equipment to capture airborne pollens. You can find the site nearest to Redding at https://www.aaaai.org/global/nab-pollen-counts/western-region. Unfortunately, the closest station is in Roseville, which is about two weeks ahead of us for plants blooming and they do not have any pollen data available yet for this year.Here are a few strategies for reducing pollen exposure:Dry clothes in an automatic dryer rather than hanging them outside;Limit outdoor activities during the peak pollen seasons; stay inside during peak pollen times (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.);Restrict outdoor activities during dry days with high winds;Shower after spending time outdoors to remove pollen from hair and skin;Use air filters and clean regularly, or run an air conditioner and change the air filter frequently;And wear a dust mask when mowing the lawn, gardening, or raking leaves. For more information on trees that cause allergies, strategies to limit exposure to pollen and furcating maps for high pollen counts check out the Pollen website at https://www.pollen.com/.The Shasta Master Gardeners Program can be reached by phone at 242-2219 or email mastergardener@shastacollege.edu. The gardener office is staffed by volunteers trained by the University of California to answer gardeners' questions using information based on scientific research.

Tropical Gardening: Brighten fall gardening with flowering plants, trees - Hawaii Tribune Herald

Waimea and Volcano. Some, such as the marigold, are great the year around. They are especially good for sunny dryer locations. The marigold is native to the Southwestern United States and Mexico. It grows well and is popular in every state and also in every civilized country of the world. When Cortez conquered ancient Mexico, he found marigolds growing there. The gorgeous golden marigolds were so beautiful that Cortez took seeds with him back to Spain. There, marigolds became the favorite flower of the devout to place at the altar of the Virgin Mary. Because of that, they were called Mary's gold and then became known as marigolds. Seeds of marigolds were taken to every civilized country of the world. They were so easy to grow and so beautiful, they grew popular everywhere. In India, marigolds are the favorite flower to put in lei to place around a person's neck to indicate friendship, and because of that they have become known as friendship flowers. Marigolds, zinnias, petunias and many other annuals with bright blooms are natural for adding color. You might also expand the beauty and interest of your floral borders by including low-maintenance foliage plants. What are some of the best to add color and texture contrast? Coleus immediately comes to mind and is probably the most popular. Little wonder, it's so versatile and vivid. The plants, with their brilliantly patterned leaves, are flashy in sun or shade. You will especially appreciate how coleus can transform problem shady spots into a rainbow of color. Use it to beautify areas along the north or east sides of your house, or garage or in containers on shady porches or patios, even under trees. Coleus also can take direct sun in cooler gardens. Coleus is just as much a favorite houseplant as it is a garden subject. They thrive in pots and are easy to propagate by cuttings. Other favorites include the many varieties of begonia, canna, caladium and geranium. Check out the vast array of seeds and bulbs available at garden shops. Other interesting plants you will want to consider are Euphorbia leucocephala, or snow on the mountain, and the many colors of poinsettia. A close relative of the Euphorbias, the Christmas poinsettia will soon be on the market, and early purchase can add color from November-March. You can sow seeds of such annuals in boxes, pots or outdoors. If you use some sort of container, make certain that drainage is good. You can sow the seeds in vermiculite, peat moss, sand or mixtures of these. You also can buy plants already started at several garden stores and nurseries in the area. If you start your own plants, water them, when seeds are in place, cover containers with a piece of glass or plastic and place in a protected location away from direct sunlight. In a few days, the seeds will germinate and more light will be needed to prevent leggy and poorly colored seedlings. ADVERTISING When the first pair of true leaves develop, it is time for transplanting. Set the tiny plants in pots or plant bands. Later, plant them outdoors in their permanent location. Using your creativity, you can brighten your home and garden from fall until spring. Share this story ...
