My plants are in potting soil in pots on the patio.  With this beautiful rain yesterday, the pot holders are full of water.  

Is this water good to use as plant water?  I am thinking it might be too full of salts from watering?  And on the other hand it might have lots of good nutrients from the potting soil.  

I have poured it into buckets and am saving it until I can get some recommendations.

thanks, Mariam
