The rain continues, I was going to plant the hens and chicks today, along with the lupines that I bought yesterday but it is still too wet.
I began to think about rain and gardening and the amount of water that just rolls down the street, I can see this from my wndow as I type and what a waste that is. Then I thought about an article that I had read sometime back about rain gardens. So I went looking for a blogger who has had actual experience building one. I found this blog, My Native Rain Garden.
A rain garden would be ideal for the site next door, a means to hold the water on site and improve its appearance at the same time. I am going to add this to my plans for next Spring. I might dig the bed this Fall, though.
