Garden Pic Wednesday: Fall Gardening

Today I was planting my "fall container garden" in these clay pots set into the ground.

There are 3, though one isn't in view.  They were out in-ground next to the veggie bed in back, but we'll be re-working that space with raised garden frames later when weather is cooler, so I moved them here, where they'll be easy to take care of.
The first one has Red Veined Sorrel planted in it; the second has Spinach and the third has Romaine---though the Romaine seed is older and I'm not sure it will come up. We'll see.
I also planted radish seed in the ground around the front edge of each clay pot. I figured why not? Those seeds aren't doing anything else.

The  container with the leafy greenery is a pot blueberry that's busy new branches for next years fruit. 

This is what Red Veined Sorrel looks like.

Young leaves can be used in salads and older leaves in stir-fries, soups, etc. But aside from it's food value, I thought it's just make a pretty landscape plant. Like Kale.

Vinca's & 4 O'clocks Out Front:
If it weren't for all these Vinca's and 4 O'clocks, I'd have nothing blooming! There's been no rain for weeks. Yet, the Vinca's press on.

Fortunately, rain is predicted for this month.
