yesterday was pretty nice here, but today is rain which has turned to snow for a bit. it isn't supposed to be that much and it should be warm enough to melt it all.

Rain. Days of rain. I wish the Lord would send some of it in the summer, instead of months at a time, then nothing for months...

This year, since I have saved so many distilled water jugs, I intend to punch holes with a fork on the bottoms, save the lids, tie to stakes by my tomatoes and peppers, etc., and practice very slow drip irrigation.
I have 5 slow drip hoses, but they take more water than I like.
Just a thought, since you say that you "drought out" every year.

one hole (let alone a forkfull) can drain a gallon jug pretty fast. how big you make the hole will be important... we used to bury five gallon buckets in the gardens next to the tomato plants for watering but after several years of doing that i ended up just returning to direct watering. the plants would sent roots to plug up those holes and also bits of dirt or whatever would plug up the holes.
