Sure, I will have to take some pics and post them on here next week. I have about 1400gal rain water storage between a 500gal plastic tub and 15 blue 55gal barrels. Not all the barrels are piped up in a series yet but all are full of rain water for storage. One half of my house is guttered to the barrels. Got a pump that puts out way too many gpm for what I need but it works. Each raised bed has 15ft of garden hose wrapped around the blues and covered in 3in of pine bark mulch. Poked holes in the hose with a nail every 2 inches. Im wanting to get a timer and automate the whole thing but havent got around to it yet. All my potted blues I hand water with a water can. Thats pretty much it. It really looks pretty getto the way its all set up but it is very functional. My wife is on my butt to build a fence around the barrels and stuff cause it is a eye sore. I will post some pics in the near future.

Bob, How exciting that you posted this now! I was out in my hillside garden watering yesterday afternoon when what I thought was a brown moth (I'm new at this, so please be patient with me) flew in and landed on my Baptisia False Indigo. I watched him lay an egg and fly off. I went over and checked and there were 2 eggs. I was so excited and couldn't wait to get inside to research and find out what it was. When I checked the posts, I opened your's and saw a picture of my Duskywing! I will be watching the eggs closely! Thanks for posting these pictures. Betty

We've had a blue jay pair in our rhododendron. I've been watching since it's also about 6 feet from our front door, up against our house. I got mama a birdbath and food, which she never used. So her eggs hatched and I watched daddy feed her, and then her feed her babies. This was so precious. But now they're all gone. Could they be renesting? I've had my field cam on them but it's not revealing if daddy or mommy transported the babies. I havent seen any critters either. I was really hoping I would get to see the babies grow. I feel bad bc I am not sure if her babies made it. 😔

Northern Mockingbird...catbirds have blue eggs, no spots if I remember correctly. BN
