Default Watering plants...

Hi all,

I've got a dilemma!!

I'm going to be away from 5 May in the evening till 16 May in the
evening. That's basically 11 whole days. I've got plants in flower
boxes on the balcony, where they get sun from early in the morning till
mid-afternoon. The plants I have a spearmint, marjoram, estragon as
grown plants, and rucola, flat-leaf parsley and chives as little plants
growing from seeds ranging from 2 to 4 weeks old.

I've checked the weather forecast for the next 10 days and it is
possible that it rains from the 11 May. It's just sun before that!

I have the possibility (and hassle) to carry the boxes with me (as I'll
be staying in a different apartment during that time).

So.. should I risk it and leave them all alone for so long or should I
take them with me?

Any suggesstions?

Thanks,
Max

Take a large soda bottle and cut the bottom out. Poke it in the soil upside
down. Fill with water and hope for the best.
