This Space for Rent

Pretty flower picture of the day

I ripped out a couple of blocks of the driveway earlier this summer, and because I didn’t want to go out and buy sod I ended up doing a hair-transplant-style sodding where the blocks were – I walked around the house looking for where little clumps of grass were growing out between the concrete slabs, dug them up, and plugged them into the two square yards of dirt I’d dumped where the driveway pieces used to be. Most of those clumps of grass ended up being dead grass, because the shock of being dug up and moved was too much for their tiny vascular systems, but some of the grass flourished. And some of that grass wasn’t grass, but weeds.

Weeds with pretty flowers, like this one, which I snapped a picture of after I dragged the hose around and watered all the transplanted grass in the yard. (55mm Super-Tak, f2.8, 1/750th sec, taken from .45 meters away (the minimum focusing distance of the lens.))

St Johnswort, I do believe. Maybe you can start an herbal medicine garden.
