Although I heard that Cedar Park and Home Depot were working a deal on
barrels I've not been able to confirm that with the city. On the other
hand, without rain there is not much use for a barrel :-(

I guess they could be considered yard art if decorated appropriately.

My question is what local Austin gardeners are using for rain collection
and their sources of supply for materials.

We might as well discuss it while waiting for some rain.............


What is this *rain* of which you speak?

I'm reminded of the old farmer back in the '50s, who hoped it would rain
soon:

"Not for myself, you understand. I've seen rain. But my son, he's only
twelve..."
