On a quiet weekday evening in late July, walk with me from north to south down First Avenue while I check on the planters and street tree pocket gardens. As I weed and deadhead, Allan will be filling up buckets with which to water them. We have a water pump trailer but have found it takes half an hour longer to use it, so while we have the strength, we are back to the bucket method. I’m satisfied with the planters this week. I still have alliums in some of them; the Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ that I cut back in some has finally filled back in; the nasturtiums are trailing vigorously although not yet blooming. A running theme is Erysimum ‘Bowles’ Mauve’ and occasionally a yellow one that was mislabeled as mauve!), Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ (catmint), Diascia, Cosmos ‘Sonata’, Salvia viridis (painted sage), Brodiaea ‘Queen Fabiola’, a variety of annuals and nasturtiums from seed.

I set the entry all up last Friday, then realized I had uploaded the photos for the slideshow into the main gallery rather than having made a post title first, then inserted the slide show. Despite the handy tutorial, I could not find the way to move unattached photos into the post. There went an hour and a half of titling photos for nought, but it was educational, and I won’t make that mistake again.
