Hi. I will be abroad for 10 days this month and i have no way of watering my pepper plants. It's around 30 to 35 degrees Celsius here in Malta. Can i leave my plants in the shade/indoors without water for 10 days?
Thanks
 
Great Advice!
 
I have trusted people to take care of my garden when was in the Hospital.
Came home to dead plants and a Very hungry and thirsty dog....
 
The person stopped by whenever they felt like it and did as little as possible...
 
It wouldn't have pissed me off if Heidi was not neglected.
 
I'd bet the person didn't stop by as often as they should have.
 
I can see/understand not watering my plants,NOT neglecting my best friend Heidi my dog.
 
I was dealing with Lymphoma B and Chemo at the time.
I was told I might be Terminal at 1 time.
I guess the person taking care of my stuff figured IF I was terminal my garden and BEST friend should die too.
 
My post includes a LOT of sour Grapes...
 
Sorry,just venting...
 
Boils down to You either set stuff up for your garden or Hope some one does what you expect them to do.
 
The post about watering/drip system only works for pots.
Inground in the Boonies won't work.
Critters smell water and chew the lines to get a drink.
 
Another gardener who grows in pots fill up containers with water (from coke bottles to Gal. milk Bottles)  with water,puts a pin hole in the bottom and a 1/8th in the cap.
Size of bottle is sized according to how long you are gone.
 
Sorry about my comments about my troubles in the past.
I just wanted to let you know why I think you should take advice about self watering your plants.

That's an awesome idea.... a small leak to water the plants !!  I never would have thought of that. Sometimes the simplest things are the best.
