I use one of those coiled hoses and it works very well. I have a utility tub in the greenhouse and the hose connects to the faucet. I hook one of the "loops" of the hose over the edge of the tub to anchor it so I'm not pulling at the faucet as I move around the greenhouse. I also strategically place a couple 5-gallon buckets full of water to use as hose guides to keep from wiping out the plants in the middle of the greenhouse. This way I can move all the way around my 15x24' greenhouse without hurting anybody.

Even though it takes up space which could otherwise hold a couple more tomato plants, I really enjoy having the sink in the greenhouse. It's great for washing veggies rather than taking them inside dirty or standing out in the yard with a hose. I also use it to wash my pots out. It just drains out onto the lawn (but of course placing a bucket under it would catch the water for re-use).

Your greenhouse is beautiful.
