Something has been trying to dig up the diascia. Has to be something small, so I'm thinking a squirrel. Maybe it buried a nut there. |

Seeing how well the morning glory was doing, I moved the trellis from the Boston ivy over to where it is. |
I had been thinking that it was time to let the garden be, and not keep expecting signs of change. But this morning I found a bloom on the morning glory, and it's starting to twine. |
There are buds on the pineapple sage, too. |
And the lantana has some new flowers coming. |

Calibrachoa. So I made my weekly (so far) nursery run yesterday. You can't see the flowers on these guys very well here, but the one on the left is "Lemon Slice" and the other is "Cherry Star." |
Lantana. The yellow one in the middle. It's called "Simon Yellow," which I liked because one of my cats is named Simon. |
Pineapple sage. |
Another pineapple sage, with the jade, the oregano, and the basil. |

Southish. |
North by northeast. The fog hadn't yet burned off and it was so calm it felt like the world was standing still. |

I can handle stobs (well, sort of), but pieces of metal sticking up from the ground? Not so much. |
It turned out to be embedded in a chunk of concrete. I began to be afraid I was undermining the foundation while I was digging it out. |

I went to the nursery and bought plants. |
Oregano |
Cilantro |
Thyme |
Diascia hybrid, "Flirtation orange." (I don't think of orange as a particularly flirtatious color.) |
