| I have a large shallow plastic box lid (18'x 12 x 4' deep) that left out by my jug area. It got some water in it when I had the hose out. I put some more in (2-3 inches) and as I check my containers, I pop dryish ones into the lid to do some bottom watering while I am checking out other jugs.
I can tell which ones are dry just by picking them up - - they feel too light. In the lid they go and in a few minutes they are good as new. |

| We really need rain here in Mid-Atlantic region. I checked out some of my plants in the front flowerbeds today, took some pictures and I saw where the ground is so dry, it is about 1/2 in. crack. We've had a lot of breezy days all this week and Wed. and Saturday are predicted "a few showers" but I did water my rose garden bed and the sunroom flowerbed. I will be doing the same tomorrow to those front flowerbeds. Had a nice surprize this afternoon; a neighbor on street behind me has the most beautiful hostas that she sprays with Liquid Fence every other day but some of hers really are hugh and need thining. She had told me months ago when they started coming back, I could come over and chose one. Instead of digging up hers, she went out to a garden center and picked out one called "Dream Queen" and delivered it to me for all the things I do for our community. I hand deliver to 32 houses our community newspaper twice a month and our monthly mutual newsletter. It's a volunteer job; I'm a lot younger than most of my neighbors and it gives me some forced exercise. I told her she'd made my Easter! |
