Watch the grunion run this month and next

Mustard is in the Brassica family along with broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts.
Mustard is in the Brassica family along with broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts.

Wild Oats, Foxtails, and other non-native grasses growing around San Diego have mostly turned gold, but other varieties of wild grass such as rye remain green in some areas. Yellow waves of wild mustard continue to put on a good show here and there, especially on the steep slopes and road cuts overlooking several of the local freeways.

California Wild Rose (Rosa Californica) can survive drought conditions but thrives in moist soil close to water.

Wild Rose, a California Native, is in bloom throughout San Diego County’s foothills and mountains. In moist, lowland areas and along small watercourses, wild rose shows off small, fluorescent-pink flowers. By June and July, the rose bloom will reach the Laguna Mountains, where the plant grows in abundance in shady locales.

May’s First Full Moon Reaches Its Peak Tonight, May 1. May’s moon names traditionaly speak to the arrival of spring. The native Algonquin peoples call it “The Flower Moon.” The Cree names are “Budding Moon” and “Leaf Budding Moon.” The Dakota and Lakota tribes called it the “Planting Moon,” as it marked the time when seasonal crops were planted.

"There's one level on the scale that's a rare level; that's the one where you can't walk, there are so many fish on the beach."


Grunion Runs Are Predicted To Occur during the late evening hours (generally after 10 pm and before 1am), following the nocturnal high tide, May 1 through 4. The small, silvery grunion tend to spawn on wide, gently sloping beaches such as Silver Strand, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Shores, and Del Mar. During the months of April and May, grunion are protected and may not be taken by fishers through any means. Open season for grunion starts in July this year, and from then until the end of summer the fish can be collected in reasonable numbers using the hands only (fishing license needed for persons 16 years of age and older).
