I water the window boxes and wire baskets every morning. The big containers get watered every few days. The part sun window boxes don't need water every day, so it depends on how warm the days are. I am a strong believer in big pots mean less watering. The watering wand make it easy for the window boxes, it's 48" long with a perfect curve. It takes me about 1 hour to water everything, but I usually don't need to water everything everyday.

I don't deadhead, hate it. Start all my petunias from seed and they are all trailing and/or wave so they don't need deadheading. Sometimes I give the basket a shake to drop the spent blooms.

Here's my kid with the long water wand. I have all the sprayers with quick-connects, so they are super easy & fast to change out.
