Your new nasturciums pic reminds me: last October, we were holidaying at a dog-friendly farm stay B&B in Grafton, and the woman who runs the place had the most glorious, vivid yellow nasturciums - and she allowed me to take some cuttings. Knowing how prolific nasturciums can be, I had no doubt that the cuttings would grow like weeds - and indeed, there has been plenty of foliage. They trail beautifully.
It's been a very busy week - lots of late afternoons at work - and I've not really been out in the yard much before dark this week - and on Friday night I noticed that the first flush of (presumably vivid yellow?) nasturcium flowers has actually been and gone! Drat. And double drat.
Happy Birthday, Bodhi-kins!! Come over here and gimme some sugar.
My most memorable August 19th was my college graduation. I had to plan the graduation party where I proceeded to get drunk off my ass. On the 19th I was throwing up in the bathroom not five minutes before I was on stage giving a (shortened)speech.
