California is a Mediterranean climate, the are five places around the world with this climate, the Mediterranean obviously, California, parts of western and southern coasts of Australia, South Africa, and the coast of Chile. What this means is that the winters are mild and wet, and summers are hot and dry, many native plants go dormant in the late summer, and start their life cycle again in winter. So right now after our first rains of the season, our hills are springing to life!Transplants to California from other areas of the country often have a hard time with the lack of rain and green in the summer, and use up all of our drinking water so they can pretend that they are still living in another place. To them I say enjoy your green winters...
