It seems to go from walnuts to almonds to pistachios – depending on what was available in the area the recipe came from. Which do you prefer? Or is there something else I am not aware of?
I live in bakersfield and am looking for a ivy or something to cover my fences. I am looking for something that will attach itself directly to the fence and cover it with a wall of green. I have been recommeneded boston ivy but I would like to get some suggestions on what other options there are along with how fast they grow.
Here is some addl info on bakersfield’s climate:
Bakersfield’s climate is a semi-arid dry steppe climate (Koppen climate classification BSh), defined by long, hot, dry summers and brief, cool, sometimes rainy winters. In fact, Bakersfield is one of the sunniest cities in the U.S. (just behind Yuma, Arizona and Palm Springs, California). Bakersfield enjoys long-lasting, mild autumns and early springs, giving the region a unique climate suitable for growing a wide variety of crops (ranging from citrus to carrots to almonds and pistachios). With an average rainfall of only 6.49 inches (165 mm) per year, most precipitation falls during winter and spring. Typically, no rain falls from May through September. Summers tend to be very hot in Bakersfield with daily temperatures usually exceeding 100 °F (38 °C) from mid June to as late as mid September, and occasionally exceeding 110 °F (43 °C). Winters often have mild daytime temperatures reaching into the low 60s°F (15 °C). Mornings and nights however, tend to be cold (especially in December and January), where lows can reach as low as 20 °F (−7 °C),
