Will my flowers be ok?

[Anonymous]

This is thinking ahead but…

I always have a neighbor teen tend to our potted flowers when we go out of town. She will be away this summer. We have four-day trip planned in late-June. If I water my flowers before we leave and stick them in our cool garage, will they be OK without water for three full days? Or do I need to think about getting someone else to water them?

For four days, I’d leave them out, in a shady part of the yard. If you’re really concerned, you can either do DIY (upside down water bottle with a tiny hole in the cap) or buy something for it. Wouldn’t bother getting someone to water.
