As I said in my email, as well as (I'm sure) I said on Sunday, I'm happy to come out again, as long as I can get a ride. Maybe this Saturday? Not sure if I can do a two-day, considering how sore I was yesterday, but we'll see. And I'll get my tools then. :)
And you know I was thinking the same thing yesterday - hey, this is why they're getting water in their basement! Aha! So yeah...
For thirsty plants, pretty much any flowering plant should do. High maintenance - roses that need pruning. Low maintenance - wild roses, and azaleas. (My aunt has had an azalea bush/tree against her house for, like, forever, and when I was a kid before we moved away from her property I remember seeing her have to water it every single day.) If you wanted to get really productive you could try to plant some bayberry, because you can boil the berries to produce a wax you can make candles out of. Not sure how they would do in this clime, though. Or you could try some cherry trees, and grow your own cherries! Hee.
