I've done a little research re drought tough vegetables and it seems that tomatoes, squashes and melons are the best way to go, as they establish deeper root systems which allows them to draw moisture from deep within the soil rather than rely on constant watering. Hope this helps a little. Let me know how you go.<BR/>sx<BR/>p.s if you can, check out my good friend Brendan Moar's show Dry Spell Gardening on The Lifestyle Channel as he has wonderful tips on which plants to grow and how to keep them alive during water tough times.Shannon Frickehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059513098546237493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922504383442123900.post-10169823627106980492008-10-21T09:16:00.000+11:002008-10-21T09:16:00.000+11:00This a great photo!
