i would like to plant small bushes and perennials on both sides of my front
porch. there are no rain gutters on the overhang, and these would have to "stand up" to occasional downpour. any suggestions? thanks, rosie -- |

Get gutters, if you can afford it. Otherwise, listen to the Manellis. - Bill Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) |

the problem with getting gutters is DOWNSPOUTS!
this particular area has no room for them. (its a small porch) -- "Bill Rose" wrote in message ...
