So I shouldn't bother with the rain gardens?
What's a rain garden? Been wanting to ask.
I don't know! What's a rain garden, Precious?
You know what I've always wanted?? I want to have a house with a metal roof and have my downspouts connected to a cistern of some sort that that collects the rain for me to use to irrigate my garden.
I also want a catfish pond...did you know?
heh, well, if it's too dry, you won't have to worry about the rain garden attracting 'skeeters'.
