for days, I am sure the well will run dry, I am watering twice a day,

It's OK to water pot plants twice a day but make sure that the same area
isn't watered twice a day because all you are doing is encouraging shallow
rooting.

In temps like that, you need to water infrequently, deeply and mulch, mulch
and mulch.
