Ready, Set…Rain?
Well, here they are, all installed:
I got the rain barrels used, almost free–but it cost about 60 dollars to put up gutters, spouts, cinder blocks and replace some of the hosing…so much for my virtually free water. Then there’s the other small item needed…rain! Not a chance today or tomorrow or until next week! You can bring the barrels, but you can’t force the rain!!!
Here’s the freesias outdoors. They are doing very well. I will be getting more of them and installing another flower bed next year!

I’d love some of these! Plenty of rain here!

You mean rain barrels or the flowers? Austin gets rain, but in spurts–I have a fairly large veggie garden that needs watering every day. I’m hoping the rain barrels will help with that!
As for the freesias, they didn’t require much care at all. I only watered them once a week. They came up early in the spring and I thought they might not bloom–they sat there being green for the longest time. Then I started noticing the stalks and here they are–all different colors!
