antonia, they won't water the window boxes unless you drop one of them on the watering cans in the shed. There's an award for watering them.

Thanks Lewanda, i figured that out by now
The creators of LDW are great in finding really funny things witch I wouldn't even think of. Ofcourse they are concerned about the rose and isola flowers, otherwise they die because of getting no water at all

LDW keep up the great work you do to keep peeps like me really happy and laughing.

Actually Lewanda, whenever I see that the flowers have faded back to grayish, I always drop my little people on the window boxes themselves to save them the long walk from the shed. They just grab a watering can from under the window boxes and go straight for the hose.

Thanks BayouBlonde for the tip...I never thought of that.

I can't get any of them to water anything. He goes over to the shed and picks up the watering can and then goes over to the hose and looks at me and shakes his head....why can't he get water from the hose? What should I do? Thank you Victoria

You are very welcome.

Victoria, if you have not yet repaired the leaky hose near the back door of the house (the kitchen door,) you will have to wait for the waterproof tape to restock in the store and make that repair first. After that is completed, drop them in the hot spot of either the window boxes or the water can in the shed to have them water the flowers.

Oh, Thank you! I did see the tape but didn't know what it was for...I hope it comes back again! Victoria

I found the tape but when I went to put it on the hose, it got stuck in mid-air! I cannot get it back it is stuck there...how do I mend the hose? Thank you Victoria

Maybe if you closed (quit) the game, then re-opened it, the tape would be where it's supposed to be.

It's worth a try.

The tape should look like it's laying on the ground next to the hose. For instructions on how to use it see this thread.
