If I'm not mistaken the location you mention is fairly close to Los Angeles... If you are looking for a place to visit often, maybe even put a trailer on, it might be interesting.

I would certainly get started with watching the place when it is pouring rain, figure out where the water is going, decide if it would be conducive to some preliminary earthworks, perhaps try some black raspberries and even try heat resistant cranberries on the north side of hills, near the bottom of your slopes. I read there is real interest in trying to cultivate a heat resistant cranberry and it would be really an accomplishment if you succeeded but just a little patch where it looks cooler
As people are saying: look for perennials that grow there.

I would be fascinated to see the abandoned homestead but that's a warning
I imagine a future large earthworks project perhaps like the berm shed at permies, perhaps a trailer downwind. Not something too expensive in case it gets flooded.
Just because it's in a flood plain doesn't necessarily mean you can't have a lot of fun, learning, make improvements, and begin propagating what you want to grow there and elsewhere

I guess the question is how far is it from where you want to live / live when it's flooded?

The basement has the most stable temperature for me, and has humidity, and I have a humidity coil in each hard case. If it is in use, anywhere above dog level, just not near a heating source.

Assuming this question is not limited to certain members of the plant kingdom, I am choosing air layering. Not because I am good at it, but rather I think it's so ingenious and also challenging. I have had moderate success. It's fun!

Berry hedges: my experience with black raspberries is that the canes don't die back (although red raspberries and blackberries do)

I think I will try a willow hedge that deer do like to eat: my son's place has a resident deer and I have already started collecting red clover heads and am planting them! We will also be building a fenced area.

I'm an early riser so springing forward just feels like winter is that much longer. I love routine, and find it very disorienting and somewhat depressing. Perhaps another reason to find a refuge among old growth in BC if at all possible -- the cessation of daylight saving time.

I stopped thinking of wild plants as weeds as I started eating them, and putting them to good use. I typically transplant everything that needs moving.

My most protected weed is milkweed, and before when I was caring for an adjacent lot, it was orchids. Many of the "weeds" I simply consider vegetables (the stinging nettles I deliberately cultivated) and volunteers like lambs quarters. Or they are medicinals like wild sasparilla, cohosh, heal-all, wild leeks, or pollinators / tea like echinacea, rudbeckia (black eyed Susan's), bee balm etc., or wild carrots to hold up my compost hills.

And edible fruiting bushes are certainly not weeds, even slightly invasive ones -- they can all be managed

Clover in my opinion is certainly not a weed: it is an important part of the ecosystem.

There are no weeds except for poison oak/ivy and invasives, which kind of depends on where one lives.

Maybe this suggestion will help someone else, too.

I'm so glad you've gotten your SAD beaten! I know the B's are a big deal, and it's a bit complicated that D needs to go with K2 and also A and taken with dietary fat, but also calcium, magnesium, melatonin for some if having trouble sleeping but not more than 3mg, and now it seems iron (and vitamin C to help process it)

If I ever learned the iron connection I promptly forgot it because I have high iron in my well water, but when I go up north for the winter I'm eating fish so I should keep this in mind! I imagine a multivitamin would do the trick. I also learned the hard way that a few days of my son's zinc supplement put me in a better mood because I finally got rid of some sort of cold that I guessed was actually lung irritation from mold in heated forced air filters.

I had rubber mats made of recycled tires that were 4x8 I was planning to put in my free running gutted motorhome I picked up, but the test chunk revealed that the cold cracks the rubber despite being protected inside, so it got relocated to cover my 60-70 year old cheap 1/4" 4x4 plywood sub flooring that is nailed down and requires regular hammering in the spring and fall (and sock darning)

Being black it's terrible for showing the dirt but I think my place fits in that kitchen so there isn't a lot to keep clean!

I use 8% cleaning vinegar, citric acid, and baking soda, plus a biodegradable dishsoap, which I also use for hand washing clothes, and One+, a biodegradable shampoo/body wash combination. Apart from that, on occasion I take clothes and towels to a laundromat and bring my biodegradable laundry soap, and can't stand dryer sheets. I clean the car with baking soda and vinegar too

I don't know if having used biodegradable shampoo since I was in grade 7 has anything to do with me having almost no gray hair at 60 something

A really ugly picture (to be sacrificed) at a garage sale with a nice wide softwood frame might be worth consideration.

With the 3 underneath it means they are no longer quarter notes
You play 3 of these to make a quarter or beat (of 3 beats)

Think of
Merrily Merrily Merrily
For that set of 3 triplets as they are called
