This afternoon, to Theodore Payne's, the wonderful mecca for native plants and local wildflower seeds. We're actually looking for grass seeds: after the LADWP guys - charming as they were - dug up our hillside to replace the main sewer, we're left with a whole lot of hillside that - albeit covered with jute cladding - we'd rather was growing local, and stabilizing grass. But we talked to someone who thinks that she can give us a Custom Blend - which sounds super-expensive, but, given that we're on the edge of Griffith Park, also super eco-responsible. In the meanwhile, it was great, as ever, to wander round their grounds and look at their plants for sale; their wild hillsides; the mailbox; a California Scrub Jay with a long and unidentifiable seed in its beak.
