...and I'm still worried about the future of the drought in Texas.

I just stumbled across the US Climate Predictions site http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/ and it does not look promising.

Last week, we acquired three 250 gallon containers which will be set up for rainwater harvesting. Hoping it will rain again someday. From gutters, it is amazing how quickly rainbarrels will fill from a small rain. Now, to get them positioned.

This was taken late yesterday evening. This is the lasagna bed which still has pumpkins, fall tomatoes, canteloupe, cucumbers, Malabar spinach, licorice basil, onions, par~cel, peppers and more growing in it. It requires very little water, is well mulched and receives afternoon/evening shade.
