    Thanks for posting. Many gardners don't realize that rain water not only saves money it doesn't have the chechimals that tap or city water.😮

    Im collecting rain water. Thanks for your tips. I enjoy seeing what you call your backyard. In uk a back yard is a small concrete area with a wall around it, it is accessed via the backdoor which is usually located in the kitchen. Night night God bless.

    Nice tips 💦👍 This year the temperatures are quite moderate but the last three years it was sooo hot and dry. We're collecting every drop of water that came down ☔️

      Hot with high humidity here and yes saving water 💦 will become part of the new normal.

    I found some white tarpaulins on Amazon, I was looking for them to go over my Guinea pigs’ hutches and runs but I bought extras to drape over my planting areas. I used hay over my gardens! The grass etc seeds aren’t a huge issue for us as we grow most of our plants for our 4 rescue guinea pigs and our hamster.

      That is awesome! Years ago l researched using hay vs straw. I read that some hay might contain bugs or other unwanted guests. It's good to see that you are being creative when it comes to protecting your plants ☘️. Thanks for posting.
