Tonight the raindrops did not stop [most of] the workers from working, although we were missing our younger cohorts in cultivation. With eager hope and expectation of water, we planted peppers and tomato plants. Thankfully, even if we aren’t able to get water from the city we now have a handy irrigation system set up. And what do you know — it’s RAINING! If any of you plan on growing in third-world-countries in the near future, let us know and we will send you the blueprint for our giant ‘water tank.’ I think I’ll call it Moby Dick.

“Moby Dick” is now in our photo collection. It’s a 325 gallon water buffalo. The small roof will depots rain water directly into the tank, though it will take a while for it to actually fill up, it’s not a big roof. This will be a good week for us to see how quickly it fills up, it’s supposed to rain a good bit.
