Cistern Number 3 Installed

In my quest to work with Mother Nature, I installed my third cistern. This one is like the 2nd one using two 55 gallon barrels joined together with pcv pipe and a hose faucet. I finished this cistern just in time for a 3 inch rainfall so all three cisterns are full to the top.
The second photo is of some of the plants in the new Frog Pond. The Black Magic is easy to recognize but the other plant is what we call the Starburst. The Starburst spreads when the spiked flowers bend over and root themselves in the water. Once the roots develop, the plants can be set in pots and disconnected from the mother plant.
