Terracotta plant pots look so much more at home in the garden
than the plastic variety; like the sandstone slab this one is resting
on, they weather and stain in a natural way. This mossy, ferny corner
of the raised bed looks as if it has been here for years, which
it has: before we dug the pond, we built an oval enclosure of stones
salvaged from an old rockery and piled the soil from the pond into
it.
There are large leaves of nipplewort, a weed,
on the left, a few mauve sedum flowers behind the
pot and, to the right, buckler-leaved sorrel; its
rather fleshy leaves have a sweet taste.  |
