Thank you for answering me! The little guy already loves it, he calles it His Forest! I can deal with an endless summer for sure (rain or shine) I was going to go through your posts to see what else you've made I could learn from...

Wow $18000 for a well is quite a lot, we do have a little river about 1500ft away from our building site and the growing area, though the water also would have to climb a 100 foot cliff.

I am opening up to the idea of a cistern more and more and the fact that you could always fill it with rain water too is appealing.
We also have the option to tap into town water but I'd rather stay off that grid for some reason!

Thanks again
