I hate to hear of plants being dumped. Can you post the extras on craigslist? Maybe someone can make good use of them.

BTW, I once gardened in a drought year and had bang-up produce for just two reasons:

a) I mulched heavily

b) I used drip irrigation, which the plants like better anyway.

Re the latter, doesn't have to be a "professional" system. You can set up all sorts of things to "drop," like small holes in soda bottles.
