Gardening in the Rain

Last week in San Francisco was rainy, and it felt like it had been raining for about 600 years. Recent months have been particularly wet, which has produced a damp, green, overgrown feeling to my once spare garden. For example, the licorice plant, which was once just a few sgraggly branches of light green planted as a companion for a pot of pansies.


Or the fennel, which was transplanted from its original overcrowded pot in a backyard rescue operation. We weren't sure it would survive. (Patrick, you may remember this as the "darn you and your trowel" episode.*)




Gwyn says, "this rain thing sucks. I'm going inside to sleep by the heat register."







*Typed out, it sounds like we were having an argument. Actually, Patrick was trying to help uproot the fennell and ended up covered in dirt.
