I'd love that info on RWH.  Even though we get a lot in late fall/winter/early spring, we dry up and stay dry through the summer and have real irrigation issues for 2-3 months each year.  Sign me up for learning how to store it and use it later.

Marcy,
Wish I could send you some rain via FedEx.  We've had nearly 8" in 10 days.  Spent last weekend sandbagging our little town against the Mississippi River.  Almost need "water-wings" for the tractor.  Beans aren't germinating at all.  Wondering how to put 12 acres under High Tunnels.
Hope you get the moisture you need via precipitation, well water or rain water harvesting-RWH.  I'm on a great RWH list serve which includes many folks from Australia and India where RWH is required.  Let me know if you'd like info on RWH.
Regards,
Mike

Seems like a lot of extremes.  Here we’re hoping for some rain or snow this weekend. We’ve had about 3/8” total - since January.
We planted our earliest ever planting of sweet corn this past week but have a couple cold nights ahead.
I keep wishing for some moisture, but then hear about folks that have way too much and remind myself that we can add more moisture by irrigating, but it’s pretty hard to work the other way.
