If we didn't already have our holiday card ... This was the best thing at Sunset Nurseries today, where we went with a very specific set of queries [our hill has been mangled this week by the city digging up a sewer pipe and "busting" it and laying a new one - not our sewer, but a main city one that runs through our property]. So the hill needs stabilizing, and they are prepared to lay jute, and plant - well, grass seed. This doesn't seem very ecologically responsible to us, so we've been investigating alternatives that might work to bind the soil in place, like various native sedges. But the man serving us not only was unhelpful (apart from trying to sell us a few pots of coarse grass that would cover about a 50th of the area), but started into a rant against The City, The Government - as in the sense of the Deep State. So we walked away from his nasty right wing mean and ill-tempered views, and we won't be back. That Buddha may be weeping tears at the company it keeps.
