Crickets signal that summer is coming, several kinds of buckwheat blooming
Also: North County beaches suffer most from sand loss
The House Cricket(Acheta domesticus) makes the familiar nighttime chirping sound heard all over San Diego.
The Chirping Of Crickets Tells Us The Warmer Weather of summer is on its way, hopefully sooner than later. Their plaintive pleadings for mates are heard wherever bits of semi-natural scenery cut across the urban tapestry of San Diego. Try the Spruce Street suspension footbridge, west of Balboa Park between Front and Brant Streets. From the swaying deck of the 70-foot-high span, you can ad,mire a canyon filled with green and gold grasses, nasturtiums, and eucalyptus, pepper, and palm trees. Summer sound effects usually begin by mid-afternoon.
California Buckwheat, Our Lord's Candle, Chamise, and Jurassic-era boulders all featured prominently in Rancho Bernardo.
Buckwheat, A Late-Bloomer Among Native Plants in our area, is showing off its small, inconspicuous clusters of cream-colored flowers this month. Several kinds of buckwheat, found in dry, sunny locations throughout San Diego County, are the source of the “wild buckwheat” honey sold locally. Near the coast, look for flattop buckwheat, common on south-facing slopes. There, it shares space with other low-growing shrubs of the sage-scrub plant community, such as black sage and California sagebrush.
Sand is pumped onto beach near Cherry Street
Cobbled Shorelines Are Greeting Some Beachgoers early this summer season, as in past years. North County beaches tend to suffer most, as the natural sand replenishment in the area is disrupted by dams blocking the flow of sediment down the larger streams and rivers. Sand scooped up from dredging operations is being moved onto the beaches to mitigate this problem, but in general, South County’s beaches fare better. The widest beach of all, Coronado, is protected from sand loss by the jutting Point Loma peninsula; it catches sand drifting on currents northward from the mouth of the Tijuana River.
