Diana, yes hydrangeas, clematis, and dianthus require regular watering, but I had recommended to Wifeygirl that she get a drip irrigation system. A store-bought system for the front yard would cost about $40 and a timer would probably cost $60, so for not much money the plants can be watered automatically. That's a great idea for dry climates because the plants get the same amount of water every week during the summer when there is little or no rain, but here in MA summer weather is unpredictable so I plan on manually turning on the water. Perhaps you know better than I but unless the city bans garden watering due to the drought in CA I assume all the plants I recommended will have plenty of water from the irrigation system.

This has nothing to do with anything but do you like the attached portrait of Star my new rabbit? My rabbits provide almost all my fertilizer nowadays, and all my plants like it except my Quickfire hydrangea transplant. - Nancy Groutsis
