Caught in the Act

We have a recirculating fountain out front that sometimes overfills when the irrigation comes on. It’s on the drip system, and it’s hard to get it just right without letting it go completely dry. Since we’re accidentally intermittently watering a little patch of dirt in front of the fountain, we thought we’d plant something there, to take advantage of the water.
