I find it hard enough and i'm on the shady side. if i do a lot of bedding (which i didn't last year due to the watering ban) so 4 dutch trolleys full of bedding needs watering every day. I've been thinking about extending the plumbing so i can just attach a hose and water direct, but it's a bit late in the day now.

Yes it would be really difficult with the watering ban we rarely have ban but do remember one year we had and it was difficult we ended up carting everything in during day and soaking them in back room despite ban to much stock to loss but surely with all this rain we shouldn't have a ban at the moment the wind is howling here and rain is like stones banging of the window how do spain etc mange to avoid a ban I don't think we are well enough organised but then agin that's someone elses job

Don't forget that a ban doesn't stop you watering your commercial stock or washing your commercial vehicle. it only applies to residential gardens and private vehicles. You can also hose down the windows on your house or hose down your drive (even if your car is in the way) quite legally

Yes but when in official capacity with a clipboard in their hand and they start their speech it can be daunting and we did have customers really having a go and so did all watering in back just to keep peace and stop customers getting hump

We have hairdresser next to us and she is always saying how cold the shop is even in summer but as I said we do get strong sun on the window but as we are a long shop and we work towards the back we are always nice and cool but unfortunately we have to move all flowers halfway down to stop them getting overheated
