You can stop watering plants when they stop wilting, seriously though, plants will get far more nutrients from the rainwater than ever from the tap water !

In general I find that you can stop watering outdoor plants when it rains!  :y  As we've been deluged by biblical amounts of the stuff this year I'd imagine you have a very clean Omega!!  :P

Hmmm Yes it's usually been too wet to go out and wash the car!!  ::)  My compost bin usually swallows all the grass cuttings and most of the clippings from bushes and shrubs etc, but it's all grown so much this year I've filled the bin and taken stuff to the tip!!  :o
