Hmmm.  Good to know, but I simply cannot water every day.  We'll be
vacationing at least twice.  Which reminds me:  does anyone have any simple
vacation irrigation system ideas I can use?  I *have* a neighbor kid, but
she's already dealing with the cat, the inside plants, and the mail (and my
husband gets the most mail of anyone in our ZIP code).  Asking her to truck
water out to the boulevard is a bit of extra imposition I dislike asking
for.

Isn't there something clever to do with 2-liter soda pop bottles?  Other ideas?
