Here in lovely uptown Phoenix, we awoke to pouring rain. Gloomy day for commuters, joyous day for plants.
Put a light dose of plant food in your favorite houseplant watering container and set it under the eaves to collect runoff. If it has a narrow opening (I use old gallon juice jugs, for example), set a funnel in the opening to capture more water. When the container is full, pour the rainwater on the indoor plants.
Plants seem to be able to tell the difference between rainwater and tap water. It’s like spring tonic for the indoor set. And it’s free!
Do you harvest rainwater? Please share the ways you catch store, and use runoff.

put it through a filter and drink it. Or wash your hair with it. It leaves the hair soft.
Sadly, we can’t do it–because of mosquitoes.
