And, I'm only happy when it rains!
Haven't dragged a hose in a few months. |

I second that feeling. Not to mention, I have been watering some of my palms soley with captured rain water when we had dry periods earlier in the summer and some with city water and what a difference there is. The plants watered with rain water look so much better and actually seem to grow faster. I wish I had a larger rain catch.

I capture rain off my roof into buckets and trash cans and whatever container laying around. Even use a wheelbarrow at strategic drip corners. I only water my jaboticaba with rain water as anything else, especially well water will degrade the plant. City water with flouride and chlorine can kill back as well. Especially flouride in certain ornamentals. Palms are pretty tolerant though, but yes, rain water the best.
I also have a pond that captures water off the roof. That is all kinds of tadpoles and debris in it. That has to provide plant nutrients as well as I bucket the water out of it and onto plant roots. |

Hello, it's me again...been awhile...just wanted to mention my rain buckets are bone dry and since my last post the rain has avoided my garden. Just thought posting and complaining about it may help get rain.

Getting pretty dusty in Rockledge. Doesn't take long with hot nights, sunny days, and sugar sand for soil.
