We're in a drought, went away for over a week and my potted plants were thriving when I came back. I have 2 of those plastic kids' wading pools. I put my containers in them and add water to the plants and to the pool so they water themselves through the drainage holes in the containers. The first time I put the pools in the shade, the second time I put the pools in the house by windows because temps were supposed to be over 100 and windy. Both did equally well.
