I'm so jealous.
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.
