Yer, I know, am being a bit "dramatic". While they really ARE recent pics of my vegies, there is - more or less - still plenty of "tap-water" around. Sheesh, I live in a house- in a city .. but am into "conservation" .. can't help it. The Snow Peas gave a good crop, and the Corn gave about a dozen good heads. They look like that partly because the local "Gummint" has made it legally precarious to actually use a hose to water them, and partly 'cos can't be bothered watering them any more.
Curious, really, water restrictions. Am bloke, wash the dishes and clothes (not in the same bowl - but could, if pushed) once a week, have a shower, occasionally, when I feel like it, flush the toilet about twice a week (it also helps, having "outside plumbing", so to speak; and I still think that the Nectarine trees benefit .. heh)
Oh, while am on subject of Nectarine trees ..
Any spare water (or liquid) gets pointed in their direction.
The only trouble, is that I now have to share them with these cheeky chappies.

Gee Womby, the vege's look a bit sad.
Re your ablution practises, clothes, dishes, personal hygiene etc I think that's what's referred to as 'too much information'. I don't think anyone's going to give you a hard time for flushing your loo at least once a day . . . Nice to hear you haven't melted. (Nor yet been asphyxiated by your own malodourous stench).
heh
Disagree with above commenter. Proud that you don't waste any kind of water. And that chappie is a cutie pie, but I can say so in the middle of winter in Merika.
Ah, Caroline, Anne. There is also the possibility that am prone to exaggeration, at times .. heh.
I don't grow any veggies or fruits, other than that monster of an apple tree in the yard that I don't use the apples off of, give them away instead.
I don't have running water here, so I'm guessing that I use less than you do.
To wash dishes I use a bit of soapy water in a bowl, dip a scrub pad in it and clean the dish, and rinse it with a drinking bottle, like the ones hikers use. I use very little water to wash dishes.
I take bowl baths everyday, but they use less than a half gallon of water.
I use a porta pottie and dump it about every two weeks at the marina restroom, one flush and it's gone.
Me pee outside? Oh sure, all the time, and if Helen next door is watching me I shake my dick at her and she laughs.
I guess my biggest water user is the coffee maker, two pots a day. Wait, I may drink an equal amount of beer. LOL
