I have an old porcelain laboratory sink out side my front door with
internal dimensions of 32"x11" x 6" deep. The situation is rather
exposed and thus dries quickly. I'd be grateful for some suggestions as
to what to plant in it as everything I've tried so far has died of
drought when we've gone away for our summer holiday.

In desperation stoneleeks (sempervivums) with some species tulips for
spring colour.


Or various other succulent plants. Sempervivums have the advantage of
being hardy, so they can sit there all round, and there are various
hardy sedums. But aloes and hawarthias are good for summer, some with
the advantage of spikes of orange flowers. Mesembryanthemum (livingstone
daisy) should cope if you have a lot of sunshine.

Wallflowers, as their name implies, can cope quite well with drought. As
can some of the scented leaved pelargoniums.
