Wow, those plants look so lush and healthy. Are those nasturiums at the base? As usual, great plants and wonderful pics, Muddy. It takes more than a sore leg to slow you down!

Spanish Flag & Nasturtiums! I had to water everyday during heatwave & ran out many times when leaves where hanging down so sadly limp to water. It paid off & enjoying it now. Its the first year to try it here. I thought it might get to tall but wrapped around nicely. I have to clip the nasturtium leaves once a week so that you can see the abundant yellow blooms under the leaves! The dog walkers on our street tell me they love to see my mailbox gardens every year!

That is really gorgeous Muddy. I'm sure the people on your street enjoy it, as does the mailman.

Very pretty! My mailbox is with 6 others way out on the street. I wish I could do something pretty like that.

Wow...after all the worry about heat and drought and more, it looks sooo nice!
And still the mailperson can get to it to deliver mail. Mine gets overgrown with gooseneck loosestrife and obedient plant at the base, but these survive the street salter/sander and come back every year.
Does he/she ever complement you on it?
