Do you have any neighbors who grow the same plants?

Join a local plant club \& see if anyone can plant sit. Otherwise you can hire a plant sitter.

If I depended on the kids (19 \& 20) to water for me, I'd end up with a swamp and/or flooded house!! 😐 I ended up scheduling all of mine to not need water until my return 5 days later.
