Leaving for 10 days today and I don't want my vegetables to die. I have 6 of them in a tray. How can I keep them watered or from dying?

Get someone to water them for you? Or build a overcomplicted arduino controlled machine with linear actuators and a timer for optimal watering.

I'm on a vacation elsewhere while going on another vacation to the sea. Thought of growing some vegetables while on vacation.

put them all on the gound around a table. bucket of water on the table and strings of (maybe woven depends on size of plants) of wool from bucket into the dirt. now let the gravity do the work for you.

<- Like this, but skip the tubing, put the water bottle in the same try as the plants.

Inverted 2 liter bottle with water.

This. Fill a bottle and push the open top straight into the dirt. Water will release as the soil dries

This one more! They sell pointed glass bulbs for this purpose. Water goes in ground. Comes back into bulb as condensation and goes back into ground. Repeating until it is gone.

Not OP, but those all look like various types of succulent plants which, ironically, don't need much water.

Pic related is my favorite, echeveria. Other common types include the jade plant and 'hens and chicks'. Just Google succulent plant.
