Re: Lotta rain.........

We have three rain barrels.  All three of them can fill up to overflowing in
10 minutes in a good Upper East Tennessee summer thunderstorm. And then I
can water the plants (with a watering can) for weeks!   I have painted the
barrels white to reflect sunlight and keep them (relatively) cool, and I do
add a little hydrogen peroxide to retard algae growth.  Makes me feel good
every time it rains--- like the raindrops really are "Pennies from Heaven."
