How can I keep my plants watered on vacation?

Mailleman asked:


I recently planted some blueberry/raspberry bushes, and we’re going on a 2 week-long vacation soon. I’m concerned with the plants dying (it’ll be very hot and dry when we’re gone) from lack of water. Since the sprinklers don’t reach to where the bushes are, is there anything I can do to set up some sort of automatic watering system?

 

What’s the best way to care for seedlings while on vacation?

i’ve started a number of different seeds for my garden this summer (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc..). I’m going on a 10 day vacation and don’t want the little seedlings to perish while I’m gone. Any thoughts on the best way to keep them alive while I’m gone?
