Thought I would forward details of my newly installed project:
an "Outdoor Shower"
I'm very pleased with it. It took me a week of going back & forth to Lowes
&
wal-mart cuz i didn't quite know what i was doing.

I was also thinking that i should now plant mint there, so when you walk
on it, you smell that really fragrant smell !

And to think we had one when I was a kid. Used to freeze my butt
off getting from it into the house in winter. Whatcha gonna build
next, a designer outhouseG?

Ah, but wouldn't an outdoor shower be nice right now? Jfrost didn't
say he/she was substituting outdoor for indoor facilities. I know
*I've* turned a (non-sprinkler) hose on my head during a hot day's
gardening. (Yes, I did notice the G)

Mint underfoot is a neat idea. I have both rampant mint and lemon balm
in places is shouldn't be, and the redeeming feature is walking
through a cloud of fresh scent. Why, most people would pay pounds and
pounds for that! The Brit garden program 'Ground Force' often plants
aromatics along pathways so that walking around will release the
scent.
