I went to England and Ireland for almost three weeks. The first half of the trip my then boyfriend took care of the garden (and killed the strawberries) and the second half of the trip my friend Mark came over every day from Redlands to water the garden. When I returned home, it was like stepping into the twilight zone. Instead of my nightmares of a parched, dead garden, I saw a fully mature garden, just begging to have things harvested from it. Each plant had tripled in size, and most of them were ready to eat!
Here's the contrast:
