Larkspur as Weeds/Ground Cover

We have not had enough rain this summer to avoid carrying water to the gardens. There for a while, we were getting showers, giving us the opportunity to gather water in our rain barrels, but that has slacked off, and to add insult to injury, today the nozzle on my watering can broke. We spent about an hour this afternoon scouring a Doller General, a Family Dollar and a Big Lots for a replacement watering can, but no luck.

In the meantime, there are some plants that don't seem to be too worried. The plants with finely cut leaves, like liratis, cosmos and larkspur don't seem to care as much as the flowers that have broad leaves -- naturtiums, calendulas and others. The grass has been mowed only twice so far this summer. So it was a bit of a surprise to find tiny little larkspur plants poking their heads up out of the lawn. They're a welcome sight, a reminder that I might be drooping from the heat and humidity, but they are carrying on!
