Another Day, Another Ditch

I can unequivocally say that we have dug more holes in the ground this winter here than we have ever dug in our lives! Another one is going in; this to provide irrigation to our front planter which sports a volunteer desert Mexican Palo Verde tree which we would like to see flourish. A neighbor mentioned giving us some small palms if we wanted. Well, of course, those will have to have a watered home! Now Marc is talking about doing a line (yes another ditch) to the front of the privacy wall since he knows I want a bougainvillea growing up and surrounding our window. Does it never end?
