I know, it's very bad. I am bad, it was bad, bad, bad, bad. But this week I am working full time, and when I got home today it was getting dark and there just wasn't time to lug around the watering can that I have been using as I drain off the dregs of the water tank. It hasn't rained here in weeks, and after a hot day today, it was either give the vegetables a drink or watch them die.So I connected the hose to the town water tap, set it to shower, and I gave the poor wilting vegies the bath of their life. Honestly, you could see them coming back to life as the water got to their roots, and my satisfaction level with life reached new heights.
I am not exactly sure if it's legal to use the hose to water the garden at the moment, and I felt a little lot guilty, so I sent the boys to bed tonight without a bath, and I am going to forgo my shower. Euwwwwwww!
I am so going to pay for all this on my next water bill.
Bring on summer and the wet season.
Here's linking up to Hazel's Winter Wednesdays.

aw don't beat yourself up too much! I know it's not ideal but we don't have the water restrictions that we had a few years ago. I just found the current guidelines here http://www.qwc.qld.gov.au/restrictions/conservation.html After the floods I don't nearly worry as much about water conservation as I used to :(
i.love.you.best.when.you.are.being.naughty.
Im not sure I should be reading your blog anymore Ali, what with stealthy fruit obtaining from neighbours trees and now this.....on a more serious note, I cant imagine water restrictions in qld after all that water you had...bizarre
I hope that watering your garden with a hose is NOT illegal, because if it is, lots of poeple now know about your misdemeanour!
The broccoli in your pic looks good. My broccoli is onto its last legs now, though I always find it hard to dig up plants that have done so well. They are sending up shoots from below ground now.
So you were brought up religious then....
Don't take it out on the kids!
go take a long bath and saok away all that sweat you have been producing the wivenhoe was gushing out tonnes of water recently it had nowhere to go so it flooded a city...and i like you when your naughty too..
Vegetables are people too. You can't just let them die. I'm sure the water authorities will understand. :)
I picked my first, very first, bit of broccoli the other day. And soon to pick coli. Exciting! And isn't Australia a wonderful place? Here you are talking about no water, and my tank is overflowing.
Ha ha, it reads like it was the boys who've been naughty; you should have sent yourself to bed!
Oh LBM, you are right! Although for me being sent to bed would be a luxury, not a punishment!
