                    Its because the blue lines they keep painting around the leaks are not working, the water just keeps coming out regardless, they need a new plan.

                          I've tried, honest gov, the cars keep running over the hose.
                          Perhaps plan B. Just water my own garden, sorry Pete:whistle:

                              It is set to rain again today which is a good thing as there is still ungerminated grass seed in patches.

                              I am trying to figure out what to do as I had bought nasturtium seeds. The packet said "climber" and that is a big lie. :doh:They were supposed to be climbing up some netting behind the onions to make a pretty background but no, they are spreading throughout the onions and even though I don't want to kill them, I think I rank the onions higher as far as importance. I just wish I knew how to save the nasturtium/what to do with them and not disturb the onions.

                              I do keep the troughs in the greenhouses full so as to keep the capillary watering steady and I think I'm going to need to top the cannabis in the one little greenhouse as it is trying to escape through the vent!
