this month prep is a rain gutter diversion kit from amazon. should bring in a perpetual supply of water. last month i bought a 275 gallon cistern.
doing great at my first attempt to garden. i am only killing less than 50% of my vegetables.
also began making fire bricks from old newspapers. pretty cool.
Florida seems to have caught Texas’ drought from last summer. Good luck in the garden.
I grew up in Cuba where many folks used cisterns and barrels for rain water catchment and when sailing we use tarps to top off the tanks. I remember as a boy that one of our rain barrels was a frog haven which my dad used for baits. Ribbit!
