Thanks for the reply, Chet.
The funny thing is, we've had the driest summer that we've had in
years.
Since I'm growing them in containers (five gallon buckets with
holes drilled in the bottom), I can control how wet the soil
gets. I normally have them quite dry, usually watering only when
they begin to wilt.
