When it rains, it pours!

It's the start of the rains in Kenya where, after months of scorching sun, the land is dry and parched.
 Everyone with a patch of land, however small, will have been planting maize and other crops ready for the rain to bring the seeds to life.
When the rain comes it's heavy, too much for the thirsty land to drink all at once, and at Happy House we are quick to pump it directly to our vegetable gardens and into our storage tanks. Kenyans call rain "God's Blessing" because of the harvest it will bring. In this video gardener, Uncle Alex, explains what he is doing.
