The Wild oats and other weeds this year are really amazing in the forests. I'm six foot five inches tall and some of them are taller than I am and what is even stranger, most of the little streams on the northern California coast still have some water in them. This is unusual because most years the water dries up by May or June. Even my own yard hasn't had to be watered more than a few times in the last year. There has just been so much moisture and rain the last 12 months that we are in one of the most unusual years I have ever seen. There haven't really been many fire problems this year in California either because of this. However, it is likely that there will be a few fires by September and October but nothing serious yet.
A few years back it was the Star Thistle that grew 5 to 7 feet high all over the place but this year it isn't that so much even though there is some of that too. So, this year among the very very green ferns and oaks and pines and Redwood trees along the northern California Coast there are these wild oats 6 1/2 to 7 feet high. Very strange!
