RE: now covered plants-Question re: Astilbe

Well, I, too, must be a nutcase because I do the same thing. And I collect the rainwater for my houseplants too.

Jessie,
This may sound weird, but found that no matter how much hose water I
ever gave my covered plants, they just didn't thrive. Found when I move
them out in the open during a rain storm, they do much better.

So yeah, I am the nut case that runs out when it starts to rain and
moves all my potted plants off the porch.....:) Oh, I also collect the
rainwater, but there just seems to never be enough....
