In the UK we tend to be judged on a material possessions...number of bedrooms in our house, number of cars, number of foreign holidays etc.
We should never be judged on material possessions, but if we were then I could proudly say I have THREE watering cans !!
The faded red one on the right has had many years service but was showing signs of age with cracks on the neck. I purchased two additional cans this summer (because they were on BOGOF at Wilko !!). I've switched the sprinkle heads around a little because the red one's give too wide a spray and the green one was meant to replace the cracked one on the old red one !!
Do your neighbours now have to buy four watering cans to 'keep up with the Howcrofts'? The fact that you've switched the nozzles makes it more arty lol.
@sparkle ha Juliette, i must confess we have a fourth watering can , a little pink one that lives on the kitchen window sill in summer for watering house plants :)
Ha ha a man can never have too many watering cans! I am after one but want a small one with a rose - like finding culture in Rotherhirthe - they do have Total yogurt in Tesco I guess but watering can roses have gone out of vogue
It's supposed to be very Feng Shui to have things in 3's...I guess that includes watering cans! I was offline for a while with PC/modem problems, but it's nice to be back viewing your pics Phil 'three-watering-cans-greenfingers' Howcroft!
@phil_howcroft I am constantly on the case, but the jug will have to do for now! All my plants are looking grand - busy lizzies have gone into overdrive so the old coal hole (I can't think what else the cubby hole could have been for) is ablaze with pinks and whites - it really cheers me up when I come to the front door and see those flowers..
Nice shot Phil! We have more watering cans than I can recount...at least 5 of differing shapes & sizes...but then we do have an allotment to consider. :)
Some live in the greenhouse in the garden, some in the garage, and some in the car so they're always to hand when we go to the plot. It seems that we're always watering something or other...no matter how much it rains!
