If you have an automatic sprinkler system you can set the times! If not, just water them very well and if they 'faint' while you are gone it can be easily revived with more water! sam

Listen to Kabu. Are all of you going? How are your SIL and D being able to get off work after not having been in their jobs so long? If one can't go they can look after it. I do hope your garden comes along nicely.

Soak them well before you go. Get some mulch like straw and /or wood
chips to put all around the ground under and around your plants and thoroughly water them. water them well and then just before you leave water them well again.
You can buy self waterers for pots that leak the water slowly into the plants and that will save anything in a pot.
If that is no possible put an old towell or large cloth to cover the bottom of your bath cover with water enough to make it soaking wet. plus have your pots well watered and place your pots there. They won't die without sun in four days and they will stay moist.
Good luck.

I'm not familiar with gardening, unfortunately...Sounds like something Kabu will know.
