I thought this was a a good time to post this since it's raining here and it's suppose to rain all week. We just want to collect all this water to use later on when it's gets dry. Here's a great video clip on why and how to build your own rain barrels. Give it a try.

Also here's an older post from June 24th that goes into more details about rain barrels: http://mainegarden2009.blogspot.com/2010/06/rain-rainwe-want-your-water.html
Since it's a bit wet outside it's the perfect time to spend indoors building your very own rain barrel(s).
For those of you in areas of the country that need the water, enjoy the rain. (although I know some parts of the country have had way too much)

PS - Since we're on water; look at this site from the National Gardening Association that has some great and simple things we can do to conserve water while gardening: http://www.kidsgardening.com/may-family.asp
