Hi my name is Mark (deepwater805), and I live in Baja California Norte, but lived in Ventura for 15 years before moving to Baja two years ago. Both Ventura, and Bajamar have similar climates. Never too cold, and never too hot, so even though we're in zone 10 (I think) we're probably more akin to zone 9. Can someone clarirfy that for me?
The house that I live in now had a mature garden/landscaping that surrounded the entire circumference of the house, but I've trimmed quite a bit, well whacked actually, and added a few items since moving in. Everything seems to grow well here, and I'm constantly sticking things in the ground. So far the only thing I've had trouble growing are the Tiger Lillie's, and that's only because they must taste really good to the rascally rabbits, who nibble them down to the ground. The only real challenge has been to find plants that like this temperate maritime climate, but are also unpopular with the critters.
