Regarding the change in blooming you saw in your move from Carmel Valley to Moss Landing, check out the average annual rainfall: Carmel Valley: 17.5 inches Moss Landing: 23.25 inches So an average year in Moss Landing will be like a 130% rainfall year in Carmel Valley. Combine that with low chance of frost, and it sounds like Moss Landing is an ideal place to grow these things. Mike
