What a great idea! Cucumbers and watermelons would grow especially well in such a garden, as they like a lot ofwater.

That is pretty cool and love the idea, but you'd have nothing left after the rain we had on Memorial Day. Hopefully, that gutter could be diverted to rain Barrel for drier days!

Next year I'm going to have a proper planned garden. I am going to try and incorporate this idea into it

My husband already does something like this that routes the rainwater to our small garden. He grows our red and green peppers on stakes to keep the rabbits and other critters from getting to them. The peppers are always beautiful.

I have a rain garden, but my yard is too shady for veggies. So just shade tolerant native flowers in our rain garden.
