Carting Water

We got a late start this year.  Yes, its September and I am getting a fair amount of tomatoes.

This year I learned what its like to grow food as a pioneer would have.
Waiting for the rain, but the most we have gotten is a quarter of an inch.
There is no water on the farm except for 2 ponds and the dry creeks.  So, what do you do when it doesn't rain.
You cart water.
So, for the past three days I have filled the two water barrels I have, which hold 60 gallons each.

I will continue to pray for rain.
