Please water pots in the backyard

Hello dear garden wanderers,

This year our backyard garden is particularly luscious: the beds and the pots are thriving!
We need some help: when you are downstairs to lounge, please be kind and check the plants in the pots and, if necessary, water them. It's really hot and dry and the soil in a pot won't stay wet for long. The beds can rough it.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Hummingbird Feeder

Hiya,
Thanks for noticing the hummingbird feeder in the garden.
I noticed somebody moved it to bed #3. According to a bunch of bird experts websites, it is best the feeder be in a shadowy place. Bed #3 is not ideal because it's one of the sunniest ones in our backyard. Please don't move it before talking to me. Thank you
