    Hello Everyone,
    Hope you are all enjoying the summer. Well, here is my stupid question of the day, I planted some tomato seeds in a large flower pot. They grew into large plants and was doing very well. I had some health problems and ended up in the hospital, while I was there someone else was watering my tomato plant for me. OK, back home and healthy, but I found out that my tomato plant was being watered with water I collect in a barrel. The water is all green and ugly, do you think I could still eat the tomatoes? Thanks for any help. Have a great weekend. :)

    Richie, glad you are out of hospital, and hoping you are feeling well.
    The tomatoes are fine. The green and ugly water won't hurt a thing, and may add a bit of fertilizer in the form of algae. We have three 250 gal. water catchment cubes, and two 55 gal. barrels. We've never had a problem using the water for our vegetable gardens, and I also use it to water the chickens.
