Yesterday we had lots and lots of rain! The weekend was great. We had 80 degree weather and I was running around outside in my shorts and flip flops. Then, on Sunday the rain arrived and temperatures dropped again. Sunday I decided to make use of the rain by collecting rain water for my indoor garden.
We really need to fix the gutters on this part of the carport. The one benefiit of the missing gutter is the water comes down in this one spot making it easy to put a bucket underneath to get lots of rain water.
My Indoor seed starting
The rain water will be nice for all my seedlings. The pumpkins got transplanted into larger water bottle containers. They are growing fast. The asparagus are sprouting and a few watermelons are popping up.
Sadly The Rain Turned To Snow!!! No!!!
Today has been frigid. The wind has been blowing hard and the snow has been swirling. I can't remember it snowing in April in a long time. I definitely over winter. I'm ready for warmth so I can move my seedlings into their home outside in the garden. The pumpkins might need to be transplanted into a larger container if the weather doesn't warm up soon. My little garden is thriving in the kitchen but I can't wait to move it outside and enjoy spring finally.
Hello @marxrab, only with the images remind me when I was a child and ran in the rain, through the patio of the house. Now I live in the city and that is one of the options for watering my plants. It is impressive as the rain water makes them grow.

Thanks for commenting. I think rain water makes my plants grow much faster. It's harder to garden living in the city. I always had containers gardens when living in bigger cities. I'd collect rain for my plants in buckets on the porch.

I like when it rains, many remind the memories of the past ..
Her pumpkin grows so good. May the cold weather not affect the growth process.

I normally love snow. It is very pretty. I have heard it doesn't snow in Aceh. I wish I could send you some. It's nice and cold and pretty. :)

it is great "if you send some snow here". :)
Yes, the snow is so white and soft, that's what I see on television and from some reading.
We have only two seasons here, now the dry season.

It's a crazy year, here. We're getting another 6-8 inches of snow tomorrow night and Wednesday. I can't wait.
On the bright side, your pants look to be sprouting nicely!
