      Always water, been caught out gasping for a drink even in the winter. Yes tea depending on the season. I'm not so good with sun screen and I like the wet wipes idea usually wash hands in a watering can! I also have a notebook to write down the water meter useage and what I need to bring next visit as I usually forget. Also have water key to turn water on and off. Usually some seed packets and labels, and bags for bringing back the harvest.

        Very similar.

        Rucksack is always packed with,
        Flask of hot water.
        Tea bags.
        Small bottle of milk. (Make more tea that way)
        Squash.
        Wipes.
        Lip balm.
        Moisturiser that has sun factor in it.
        Secatures.
        Scissors.
        String.
        Clean tea towel.
        Note book and pen.
        Tissues.
        Phone.
        Pain killers.
        Food (and insulin) depending how long staying for.
        Something sweet in case I go hypo.

        Oh and keys for the gate, water and loo!

        Forgot to mention seeds and spare bags.

          Dog
          Dog treats
          Flask of coffee
          Bottled water
          I'm lucky I have enough secure shed space to be able to leave most things up there.
          Going to get myself a little camping stove and kettle, then I won't have to take the flask!

            How about one of these. It's a Kellys Kettle. You can get them on lots of websites.

            You can get pans for the top part to cook on too.

            I have one on my wish list.

              Cold drink
              DAB radio
              Tissues [once the hayfever season kicks in]

              And whatever seeds/seedlings I'm planting or sowing...and a bag or trug to bring them back in.

                I am only 9 mins walk from front door to my shed, which has most of my kit in it, so I don't need to carry anything routinely. I might carry my new digging hoe backwards and forwards though as it is useful in the garden too.

                The wheelbarrow comes into use when seedlings or bags of compostable stuff needs to be taken down though.

                  I have a Kelly kettle, cans of drink, cereal bars, First Aid kit, kitchen roll, a towel, squirty soap etc kept in my shed with my tools.

                  When I go up the lotty I just take compost, seeds & plants. If it's a cold day, a packet of chips has been known to find its way into my panniers

                      I grow in my back garden so I walk out the door with only my seed packets, down side is I don't have that much space and only the vine to turn to for advice.

                          A jute bag containing:
                          mobile phone
                          bottle of water
                          a piece of fruit
                          little bag containing paracetamol, sticking plasters, scissors and a one pound coin.
                          sun lotion (if hot)
                          seeds to sow.
                          Don't need to take anything else as I have a big glass fronted shed to keep stuff in.

                          Wet wipes are a good idea - I'm terrible, I just dip my hands into the nearest water butt to wash dirt off!

                            Milk (kettle, stove, mugs, water, tea-bags already there)
                            Dog treats
                            Human treats
                            Mobile phone (also functions as internet-radio, music player, camera)
                            Whatever plants/seeds need to be dealt with.

                            Always in the shed: First aid kit, sun cream, water, spare jumper and waterproofs.
