Watering optimists

On the inside: the daintiest of mist sprays.

On the outside: the prettiest of baths. Soon after Forester B salvaged it 'on our behalf' after clearing another plot, Bowler D noticed the bath plug had a hole in it. And so it did. We replaced the plug. Plug too small. Bought another plug. Plug okay but plughole surround leaks. Afghan A to the rescue with some putty. Result: half FULL bath.

A bath has appeared

Our greenhouse has gutters but no water butt. So it made sense to ask B (who has lots of bits and pieces on his plots) if he was aware of any going free. By 8 January a tin bath was sitting there next to our greenhouse. It's apparently very resistant to frost. Well, not quite what we had in mind but we are getting used to the idea. All we need to do now is to find a downpipe diverter and a cover to stop evaporation.
