“I’ve been gardening for years”

With a comment like that, I’m sure you’ll have something to share.

My main concern right now is having water for the garden if the power goes out. So, I am going to put 50 gallon trash barrels at each corner of my garden. Take the lids off when it rains, otherwise keep them covered. Then I can just dip a watering can it them, and rock on. No wasted water, and rain water is magic. Going to put some on my downspouts too.

We are on a well, and this year are also installing a manual pump, so I will still have fresh water if the power goes out.

Other than that, I am just waiting for the new manure to be delivered.
