Plants do know God's rainwater from "our" water. They have a definite preference for rainwater,"

Which plant or plants told you that? :o) I don't speak to the plants like your wife, but I gently touch them. Does that make a difference? I don't know, but it makes me feel better to touch them. That touch, to me, means I'm going to defend them and not let critters/insects murder them. I saw too much murder earlier when the plants were killed.

Their actions speak louder than words.

I'm sure she touches them too.

Rainwater contains dissolved nitrogen, a fertilizer.

Rainwater contains dissolved nitrogen -- the bestest fertilizer (for everything but legumes).

I ran a pecan orchard in Alabama. We had installed a drip irrigation system to keep the trees watered. We even "fertigated" thru the system, mixing a ration of liquid nitrogen (ammonium nitrate)into the water.

But, after every rainfall, there was a palpable, visible difference in the health of the trees -- noticeable the moment I drove in the gate. They were visibly greener and fuller than they had been the previous day.

The good Lord's trees do love their rainwater...
