I see you're from or live in Vista, CA. I lived in San Diego from 1946 through 1955 then Encinitas until 1960. We had a small nursery in Encinitas where we grew hyworthias (sp) a type of succulent. When they multiplied, we boxed them and took them to someone in Vista who potted them and shipped them all over the country. I think we got $.05 each for the plants.

I bought my first rental property in Oceanside in 1985 when my parents moved to Vista for their retirement. I moved here from LA, 20 years ago. I doubt you would recognize anything around here. What used to be single lane highways are now three- and four-lane freeways. Solid wall to wall development from Oceanside to Escondido and from Oceanside to Tijuana. The only open space left along the coast is Camp Pendleton. Too many people, too much traffic.
There are still a lot of nurseries.
