Gohan and Rhubarb


This is one of our cats, Gohan (tied up so he won't jump the fence) and my great grandmother's rhubarb handed down through splitting plants. Gohan is a large cat (11+ lbs), the Rhubarb is around 4.5 feet wide.
Also pictured is a plastic tub and 5 gallon bucket for collecting rainwater during storms so that we can add to our rain barrels. We have 150 Gallons of rain collected so far this season. Rain water is best for watering plants for a number of reasons--one being plants like the water to be the temperature of the air.
