I do the purchasing of the plants and the watering. I love watering. We have no intention of setting up an automated drip system. It's a small garden, and it's a peaceful but small part of my day to go out and water them. The dogs like going out with me when I do it.

My other task is tearing it all out at the end of the season. And eating, of course.
