They look very nice and healthy!
I also find that my plants seem to prefer rain and/or distilled water rather than tap, and I use that as much as possible. :)

I love torrential downpours!

The amount of rain we have been getting, you would be able to water everyday the rest of the year!

how do you test your water??
nice roots!

Stan you can buy a TDS meter or water kit at your local hardware store. I have yet to check mine :)
