On this long Labor Day weekend here in the US, I'm taking
time off from writing to install a rain barrel. That's right. A catcher of
nature's gift, which we'll use on our vegetable garden. For years, my wife has farmed
a small plot behind our garage. Peppers, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini
and squash have all come out of the garden. Soil and water have gone in. Lots
of water. So I decided some time ago that a rain barrel would be a splendid
addition to the garden.
Silly me.
What I should have told you is I'm spending the weekend
putting up gutters on the garage. The rain barrel is just an extra that comes
at the end.
