Misting System for the Baby Plants

Dave and I installed a misting system for my baby rain garden plants that seems like it will do the trick and give me a break from spending 60-90 minutes out in the back yard watering every night. I was actually out there watering at 11:00 Sunday night due to the fact that my schedule was thrown outta whack by our meeting my daughter's boyfriend's Mother, for the first time,  for dinner Sunday night, after which I forgot to do the watering. Later, lying in bed, drifting away to dreamland, it occurred to me that I hadn't watered ... visions of dead baby aesclepias, eupatorium, and panicum danced through my brain until I dragged myself out of bed, threw on my seersucker robe, and headed outside with a flashlight. Going out there late at night is always a bit of a nerve-wracking experience for me, as we not only have some raccoons living nearby, but lately Dave and many of our neighbors have spotted a family of skunks ...
