Greeting fellow gardeners! Hope Y’All all had a safe, happy, & delicious Fourth.
We made the drive home Thursday night with a lot of trepidation, but traffic really wasn’t too bad even though there was a thunderstorm to drive through.
My leafy critters are being “veddy veddy good to me”. Sea grape is roaring back & the Allamanda is coming back, too. The turnips are even leafier. Whether that means we’ll get some noms out of them, I don’t know. The Valley Cats are just really looking good.
How cool about the water from the AC, greeneyes! Ours (overflow) keeps the grass green around it. I never thought about tapping it as a source for water.
God Bless & have a great weekend!
Ours is one of those accidental silver linings. The pipe clogged up. Hubby and repair men can’t figure out how to unclog it - water is too hard and pipe to small would just clog again even if they could.
So we have a closet built around the unit and some sort of pipes they put on and they drain into the buckets. We have to check it pretty often when the humidity is high to make sure it doesn’t over flow.
Some people make using that water part of their plans when they build the home. I wish we had done that. Also wish we had put in a graywater system for use on flowers etc.
Way it is we just collect it in buckets and use it. I also collect water in the kitchen instead of running it down the sink. For example, if I wash and clean green beans, then I use that water on whatever plants need it most.
