Every single Krater had standing water in the bottom of it. This will dry up fairly quickly but it is an AMAZING water source!

The good news is the rootstocks are alive. So I’m letting the rootstocks grow to be re-grafted later.

The unintentional pond was pumped dry but it has since refilled a bit.
