That hosepipe coiling off into the distance? That's just been irrigating the garden's far slope - covered in jute mesh by the guys from the city who dug up the main sewer and replaced it - which I was about to sow with custom grass seed. Custom grass seed - from Theodore Payne: a couple of different types of native grasses, blended with about eight different kinds of native wildflowers, all designated, supposedly, to (a) germinate and grow, and then (b) hold the soil on the slope in place. Right now, and for the foreseeable future, there doesn't seem any danger of it being washed away - but there's still a strong dew. And as you can see, the blossom persists, albeit a bit ragged.
