I'm assuming that someone who use to work for a landscaping company would know the hearty waterless plants. :roll: Oh you did say the above. Is that kind of a Darwin Garden you have? :funn:

It is now!
There are plants which are naturally drought-tolerant, and plants that prefer wet feet. The wet feet kind can be taught to survive in drier conditions, but they won't thrive. Generally, the others can be trained.
Most people overwater. You have to train a plant to be drought resistant. If you're watering every day, you're training it to need water every day. I tell my clients to water new plants once a week, but water deeply. After a few weeks, cut that to once every two weeks, then once a month. By the second year, they are doing fine with whatever rain they get.
Of course, that's in Georgia clay. Sand dries out quicker, so I'm not sure how much of my lake you need on your plants.

I thought about you on my drive home this evening Nohitall! It was pouring here and I was hoping it would make it a little further east. We still really need it here in the 'Ham too....our water tables are way below normal levels.
