Was touch and go with the drought. City just put a water ban in effect. Was going to seed the bare spots. Need to come up with a plan.

This looks like a job for Watering Can Man!, from the sink tap of course. I don't think they can sight you for that.

On the odd days fill up rain barrels, on the even days fill the watering can from them. Then if the water police sees they'll give you a gold star for being eco friendly =P

That's a great idea. However they just announced a complete ban on outside watering. I'm done for the season.

Who is going to ticket the rain clouds? I pretty sure they can't cite you for using rain water.

There's been a drought. Rain clouds have been scarce. However, we are expecting rain tonight. Up to an inch. I threw down some milo in the front and back and some Scott's Green up in the front. Hopefully we get a dumping.

Complete thread hijack: I just noticed your profile pic. I had one for the first time Friday night. Loved it of course.

Has been rated the best IPA in the world. Try Sip of Sunshine, anything by Tree House, and Second Fiddle. All fantastic IPAs.
