Hahahaha! 1,000! Hahahaha, poor you! That's an awful burden! I thought I had too much to fiddle with.

I was just out watering pots , and noticed something about my Ginger Lilly. It's a wet-loving plant, and is bulging out of it's plastic pot something fierce. I don't particularly water it enough. It's been dryish for a while now, gotten pale and dried edges around the edges of the leaves, grouchy looking. You can see a root that's actually punched a hole in the pot!

A week ago I got seven inches of rain in one day. I went around pouring water out of most everything, but didn't empty the bucket that the G Lily's pot is in, there's only an inch of space around the pot inside the bucket. I just gave it some water, and noticed new growth. Perhaps Asparagus could enjoy this, dry spells, but not dry-to-death.

I'd punch lots of drain holes around the bottoms of the growbags for rainy season, or build some sort of makeshift roof to keep from losing nutrients from too much watering. Groan!
