I do water outdoor plants when it doesn't rain for a week or 10 days. I have no hose, well I do have hoses, but nothing to hook them up to, so I water with milk cartons, the same as I do indoors. I always have at least 12 milk cartons, rinsed and filled with cold water, which becomes room temperature by the time I need them. > > So late in the year, even though we still have warm weather, we get quite a bit of dew in the evening, so all my outdoor tomatoes are very satisfied. It may not be like that in Belgium, but you could check at 9 P.M. to see if dew has fallen. If not, I would water. > > Carol > > > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php > >
