Along the lines of your own train of thought, my second was: "LA doesn't get half that much water most years and ours is mostly restricted to the winter months, so which plants could manage in that setting?" Still, any effort to manage rainwater would be applauded.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-56710818354265660822017-04-24T09:17:30.854-07:002017-04-24T09:17:30.854-07:00I'm also interested in seeing how things are d...I'm also interested in seeing how things are doing during the summer when it's hot and dry.
