Are The Plants As Thirsty As Me?

Yes in a word! Drought seems a harsh word to use after just a couple of days since the last rain but it has been so very hot everything is panting and sucking the last drop out of the ground.

No answer, just watering! Unfortunately my plot does not have a supply so I am relying on one rain butt (at least that's full) and wheelbarrowing water up in 6 pint milk containers. Seriously hard work, but no way out!
