Please let it rain tonight!

I hear thunder and I see lightning and I am hoping that we will get some rain tonight! I have been watering my approx. 2000 baby plants every night trying to keep them alive. So far, except for earlier this year, during our hot spring, when I lost about 15% of my plants (due to the fact that I was not as diligent as I should have been and was using a sprinkler that did not distribute the water evenly enough), I am managing to keep them all going. But between the demands of my job right now and hand-watering/misting the plants, I am putting in some very long days. Yawn...  Time to go to bed.

What would you like to know more about?

There are so many things about this project that I would love to share with you!   What would you like to know more about?   The physical layout of the garden?   More information on how the water will be routed from the backyard?  A list of the plants that we will be planting?   Write your questions as comments on this post and I will answer them (as long as they are reasonable and relevant).  It's that simple.    

This is baptisia alba or white wild indigo, one of the plants that we will be planting this fall.

Baby plants

Baby plants Part 2

This is a tray of baby plants that will take up permanent residence in our rain garden this fall. It is one tray of 50 trays that contain a variety of plants that we will include in our garden. So... are you wondering what it is? Me too! I carefully numbered all of the trays with permanent markers when I planted the seeds, but many of the markings have washed away, so I have a bit of work to do to figure out what's what!
