How does your garden grow?

It's raining now and I'm glad, my pot plants sure could use a drink. 
(Note: the images below are not my pot plants.)  Because this summer has been so humid, I noticed a swamp like environment besides our house.  Turns out it was our air conditioner condensation drain. I was scared for my life to venture near that area since we have snakes.  Our rabbit and chihuahua seemed nervous too.  Then I had a stroke of genius, recycle that water for your pot plants.  I ran to the hardware store and got one of those connectors for pipes so that I could screw a water hose onto it.  Viola!  Now I had a slow trickle of water continuously coming out of a water hose from my house that was basically giving millions of termites a drink while they devoured my house.  I now have the hose away from the house, watering one pot plant.  (Note to self: figure out a way to water all of the plants from that one hose.)  It looks like before this is all over with I will become a certified irrigation specialist.   Enjoy, Heidi
