We are lucky enough to have a great natural spring located only 12 miles from our house. It is in a large national forest too so the aquafier is somewhat protected from pollution and it is tested by the forest service. We have our own well which we use for all our washing and cooking needs but we prefer this water for drinking water. We have 10 of the blue 6 gallon jugs to haul water with so we wouldn't have to go very often. Since the national forest is a great foraging location we are there fairly often anyway. We went out earlier this week to see if the ostrich fern fiddleheads were up yet. They were just starting to peek out so we will try again today. The weather has turned cool the last two weeks after a early very warm streak and all the plants seem to be in stand by mode. We had a lot of rain this week so we are on hold in the garden until it dries off a bit. My grafting root stock and our nursery stock all arrived yesterday so this is going to be a busy week.
