Anyway, still no water, although it did finally rain yesterday (!!!).
Thanks

You could put containers out to collect rainwater (unused garbage
bins, pails, buckets) and use that on the plants... in order to
collect and keep as much water in the container as possible, you want
to lid them with something like a funnel. Old garbag bins work well
for this as their lids can be used upside down with a 1" to 2" hole
punched in the center.

or get a reeeeeeeeally long hose.
