Carol, we had finally some really wet weather here in NJ after the longest dry spell in years. They promised nasty winds for my region which never happened, that was a good thing. But I was really down on my rainwater collection, the last time we had a quick shower, we had used also the still empty pond to collect water off the whole house and transferred that to the water reservoirs in the garage. ( normally we only collect off the glass roof) But I had rainwater for only ca 3 days left.
Now collecting off the greenhouse roof AND the whole house roof we collected ca. 800 gallons of water, enough for a few months of orchid watering and soon fishes and waterlilies to be added to the pond. And since all water was redirected, the cellar didn't get flooded!
Now please let it warm up again a bit!
