RE: can't water...need help!

Barb, I have no advice to offer, just sympathy.  I live in Oregon and we've
had water restrictions a few times but nothing serious.  Is there a way you
can be prepared in the future by storing water somehow from winter/spring?  

I'm so sorry for your losses.  Barb, if you lose a lot, perhaps you can let
us know and some of us can "share" some new plants with you this fall or
next spring.

For mine is a little old-fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
