The zucchinis and pumpkin survive in kitchen sink water.<BR/><BR/>I have hand watered in the 6am-8am window twice so far this season and only for about 30-40min both times.<BR/><BR/>I mulch a lot. I put fertilizer in the water once a week.<BR/><BR/>It is the best the garden has ever been.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236459315155380910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-88351665447466343592008-12-08T18:32:00.000+11:002008-12-08T18:32:00.000+11:00Lee - if you are in Melbourne and have a vege patc...Lee - if you are in Melbourne and have a vege patch that green - You are doing "sneeky watering"!!!lady jickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013352537776588166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-41435360013870885822008-12-08T17:24:00.000+11:002008-12-08T17:24:00.000+11:00Yes, Melbourne.Yes, elderberry wine but my best su...Yes, Melbourne.<BR/>Yes, elderberry wine but my best success was blood plum wine.
