I have a leak in my hose pipe so every day me and our dog get a shower when watering the garden. It’s fine by me and my clothes go in the washing machine.

We have a rainwater collection tank but have been advised to ration it as our water might be turned off and we have no means of flushing the loo if the mains is turned off , so a bucket of rain water is precious !

Definitely shower for me. When I had a garden I had a water butt so always had some water for my plants.

Same as Scentia. Or I'd have an outside shower built with a collection tub for the waste water (but only in a hot country!)

I take a bucket into the shower and catch the water before it gets to temperature, so I have half a bucket of water for the greenhouse, the wee plants get a bit , but the lawn has to take a hit , so I’m kind of getting both targets , I itch if I don’t shower !

Shower. Have the water drain to a water butt and reuse for the garden.

I would water my garden then step under the hosepipe for a quick rub down!!

If you absolutely had to choose:
Between a daily shower or watering your garden.
What choices would you do on anything?
For this one I’d choose watering my garden, after all if I’m outside then it doesn’t matter if I stink?
