How often do you water the flowers?

It takes the best part of an hour each evening with a hose with crap water pressure. Neighbour does the same size garden in less than 10 minutes. There has to be an easier way surely?! The water pressure issue is linked to the bathroom downstairs and plumber doesn’t think it can be increased without affecting the shower in the bathroom Do they need water everyday? Or could we get away with every other day?

Not in current weather... and you can tell
If they need water by leaves etc

Some fare better like salvia, depends on type and if in shade or not

Only if it hasn't rained for a week. So not at all in the last month or so.

If ts a dry day we give purs a drink every day. It takes forever. Have you looked at one of the watering drip/sprinkler systems like those by Gardena? You can just have then turn themselves on with a timer and they water the garden by themselves for a set period every night. I'm sure there are or of brands.

I only water pots and newly planted things every day. The rest maybe once a week.

In the ground they are perennials so except for roses wanted once a week if there isn't decent rain. Roses every 2-3 days but pots every day and over 35c twice a day.

I have a very stroppy hydrangea who seems to take great offence at not being watered daily so I give the rest of the garden a quick sprinkle whilst I'm at it.

I march up and down with my watering cans most days. The tomatoes/veges, roses, fuchsias and lilies visibly look worse if I skip a day. Pots and seed trays get watered daily. Everything else gets a little water, which helps stop the ground from getting too hard to dig (important as I like moving/plantings things ).
