The Gods must have been with me because I haven't a clue what I am doing. My question is about watering. I tend to water like crazy.. The (tested) soil is now yummy and deep and full of huge worms. No matter how much I water there is never any 'standing'.. Whatever I stick in the ground grows and thrives. But alas, someone gave me the heebe-jeebies about watering too much, and now I am pertwitzed. There are a couple of things that need less water, Iris and Russian sage and sedums, for instance, which are doing splendidly. And I do not have anything that is uncommon or picky, I think, and no annuals or roses.. So what would be the signs that I am overwatering? Is it possible that one morning I will wake up and everything will be rotted and dead and reeking of failure? This seems to be so intuitive, but MY intuition has taken a cab to the airport..
