I water every 2 to 3 days, the key is to keep the moisture even. The heavy rain and blazing sun is what will make them split and rot. Not much you can do about it but I have 1in a pot this year that is is doing better than the ones in the garden.
76 chevy stepside, 350 with 4 barrel, had it about 12 years until it ran hot with my wife and ruined the motor. Sold it to my brother for almost nothing.
Me and two coworkers left hapeville around 115. I made it to Braselton in 2.5 hours. One of the guys lives in Dunwoody, he parked around 7pm and walked 3 miles home. The other guy lives near Rockmart, he still has not made it and may be spending the night in his truck.
