Yikes! You haul your rain barrels indoors for winter? I'm lucky if I manage to disconnect the downspout and hoses from them. I have two on the south side of the garage that I can draw from if it's a bright sunny day above freezing. I try to keep the rain water available as long as I can, trying to minimize the need for treated city water for some of my plants.
We did get rain last night which is fine by me, especially if El Nino is going to dominate the weather systems this winter.
I do still have a few bees around and they managed to get inside the little GH to help pollinate the lemon tree blossoms. Beats me having to do that by hand.
