Monday

after the rain

after the torrential rain one night last night, i woke up early and popped out front to check for damage or flooded plants in the many pots that are in our driveway/front door section. it was very still outside, and the plants were laden with huge drops of rain. 

i love nasturtiums,  so easy [and therefore satisfying] to grow from seed, and the flowers offer such a great variety. 

portulacas are something that my mom and i always chose at mia's garden centre in east london when i was little.  i bought them every year out east, but they always faltered in the wet, cool summer.  i'm looking forward to them thriving in all this heat.

nasturtiums are maybe my favourite annual. the way moisture collects at the centre of the round leaves . . . how easy they are to grow . . . the way the flowers add a peppery taste to summer salads. beautiful!
