Each summer is different, but if it's been like this summer, which has kept me away from the house more, I actually give up on some containers just to lower the workload. They are, however, containers that ended up not being enjoyed because of their placement and my lack of time spent in that area, and are often on top of that not conveniently watered. The most I did with them all summer was drag water around. Each summer is a little different, but the consistent thing each year is wishing I had more hose spickets.
