Gathering Ideas

The first "attack" is tomorrow night and I'd like to thank everyone who has showed interest in joining us!

That being said...I was out the other day, browsing for plants that would be ideal for our "not as much water as I'd like to give them" situation.

"What should I buy if I'm looking for something that doesn't require tons of watering?" I ask the woman at the nursery. "A beta fish," she resonds. Evidently being out all day in the sun not only hurts the plants, but it wilts your sense of humor into a dried up husk. Who knew?

Right now I'm thinking of sticking with daylilies (for beauty), lavender, and some other tough ground covers. I was also surprised at the soil and fertilized technology they have now to help keep plants alive when you can't help them as much as you'd like. That'll help a lot too.

And of course, as soon as everything is planted we'll put up some before and after pictures of how everything turned out. Stay tuned.
