I have set up my gardens the way I have. I anticipate not being able to visit them very often, so the plants have a deep mulch. They should carry through until I can bike over to see them.

One garden is 4 miles away, the other 2.8.

I might be able to get a community gardener who lives in the neighborhood to water them.

Around here people are behaving like it's business as usual. You would never guess gas is nearly $5 a gallon. Cars/SUVs all over the streets and I know plenty of people who went out of town for Memorial Day.

I wish they would forestall the shortage by doing an odd/even license plate system like they did back in one of the other gas shortage periods we had.
