me too. My inside plants do okay, but I don't put pots outside, because the plants die of dehydration. I grow one pot with a tomato plant each summer. It is in a giant pot, and the plant visibly wilts before any permanent damage is done, reminding me that it needs water. I nearly killed my Meyers lemon the year I tried to leave it outside in its pot, because you can't se how thirsty it is from a distance. I find plants in the ground much more forgiving. I only water if it's been very dry, or for the berries, during peak fruiting season.
Drip irrigation of potted plants sounds interesting.
