Water for my plants

I like to travel in summer and when I am home I have very little time to water the plants that are not hooked into a watering system.  Of, course I have always dreamed of waking up when the sun comes up, and going outside to water my flowering plants while the birds are chirping, unfortunately with children and other activities, this does not usually happen?

Ever come back from a weekend trip after you know the sun has beaten down on your plants, and the neighbor you asked to water your plants... Ran out of time, and did not get to them, you drive up to your house, to notice BROWN plants instead of the beautiful flowers you saw, when you left?

So I have been thinking of how can I get water to my potted plants, on a routine basis.  I have researched the web, visited with neighbors and also checked out Home Depot , Ace Hardware or Lowe's to see what is out there for drip systems.

If you have an existing system which waters your grass and or flower beds, you may be able to tap into the system and run drip lines to your potted plants or even add a sprayer.  The associates at Home Depot, Ace Hardware or Lowe's can walk you through what materials you may need, it is fairly easy to assemble.

I did find on Amazon, this nifty little inside water machine, I am thinking this could be used outside as well in a small area if needed.

Thinking of Spring?

I was thinking that spring is around the corner and time to start thinking of what you are wanting to plant outside.  I was looked around some websites and found that Park Seed has some great offers and sales for seeds.Park Seed Web Site.  If you spend $40, you can qualify for free shipping.

I also found Amazon.com to have a variety of seeds that may be of interest, and if you are Amazon Prime you may even qualify for free shipping.
