Locals know that Portland got heavy rain this morning. It wreaked havoc on some of my taller plants: my oriental poppies lost their petals, and both my ox-eye daisies and hesperis flopped a bit.
It was clear by afternoon, so in the evening I was able to plant some annuals in spots where I realized I needed them: I planted low-growing petunias in a ring around my peach tree, taller white nicotiana around my cherry tree, state fair zinnias near the front of the garden, and rocket snapdragons where I pulled up my lilies.
I saw the first flower buds on my roses, as well as on my niobe clematis, and little peppers on my pepper plants.
