The plant in the first picture is nasturtiums. This is the first year they have done this well. You can barely see a flower peeking through all the greenery. Years ago, when I attended my first herb class the instructor brought a container of nasturtiums and they were blooming. I was hooked instantly by their beauty and the most wonderful thing about them is you can eat the flowers. They beautifully garnish a salad or you can use them for garnish around any vegetables or a meat platter. They have a peppery taste. The flowers on these plants are really huge. I'll take another picture soon. When I went to take a picture of the flowers the wind had wilted them. You may not want to use them in your cooking but they are a beautiful plant to have on your patio or porch. Oh, if you do grow them and want to eat them don't fertilize with a chemical use fish emulsion.
I finally finished planting all of our garden last Sunday. I know, I'm really late but my plate has been pretty full this season. I was glad to finally get it all in and as I said in an earlier post, it's all contained in its space and everything looks good, for now. :)
I'm so thankful for the rain and so glad my plants were in the ground to benefit from it.
Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day!
