    Tips to help prevent moths from eating your wool sweaters
    Q. Is there any way to get rid of clothes moths? I hate the smell of mothballs and would love to find an alternative way of protecting my wool sweaters.

    What’s taking California so long to count its ballots from Election Day?

    Pacific Airshow this month dropped its lawsuit against former Huntington Beach Mayor Kim Carr that had accused her of wrongly canceling the final day of the 2021 air show after an oil spill was discovered off the coast.

    Why this surprising winter garden plant ‘merits a gardener’s lust’
    The diversity of plant species is astonishing. Even plants in familiar genera can surprise us. 
    Take the Quercus genus, which is that of oaks. I was recently introduced to the Japanese live oak or bamboo oak (Quercus myrsinifolia). Its pendant, lanceolate leaves look like they belong on a willow tree or, as its name indicates, on bamboo. I made this oak’s acquaintance courtesy of “Plants for the Winter Garden” (Timber Press, 2024), by Warren Leach. The author says of this
