| the new 1000 L waterbutts next to the barn |

| over 500 litres of water in each one! |
It is getting slightly boring having all of this rain over the last week or so, but the gardens need it and the local farmers should be a bit happier as a result. Despite all that I think that the seasonal rainfall is still well below average and the ground water level (nappe phreatique) has still dropped. Anyway for our new vegetable garden (jardin potager) we now have over 1000 litres of rain water captured from the roof of the barn (pressoir) available to use in dryer weather which should save us a bit of money on the metered tap water! Pleased to see that it has been a successful installation and all being well the fig tree will start to camouflage it a bit more in the future.
