I'm wondering that myself. Water conservation proponents say that a
deep watering twice a week will help a plant develop deep roots and
good growth.
After a dry spell here in Florida, during which my plants just hung
in, we had lots of rain. They flourished - lots of new foilage and
flowers and growth spurts.

So waht's up with that?
