Somehow, I missed most of this thread, but I still want to get my 2
cents worth in.
This is exactly the point of Heidi Gildemeister's book on medit.
gardening and the reason I purchased the book. In her lectures,
Heidi talks about watering plants only the first season or so to get
them established and then allowing them to survive on ambient
rainfall. I suspect that she gets more rain than many of us do, but
still her plant encyclopedia is very valuable for this purpose.
