I bought this watering can whilst in Edinburgh and had to wait a few weeks until it was brought down for me (no way was I taking that home on the train). Finally I thought it was time to include it in a photo!
Happily I managed to find the grid for the barn doors too which makes life a bit easier - I can manage without holding the diffuser between light and subject as well although it's a very handy way to cut back the light a bit on bits of a pic rather than the whole.

Really well put together still life. i love the way you have got complimentary colours all working together. The composition is very good. Is it the actual texture of the background or have you used a layer to create it ? either way I love it....Peter 
Thanks folks 
I did wonder if I could have done with a wee bit more light on the left hand garlic bulb? currently undecided.
Also slightly undecided about the texture. Yes it is a layer - I use a plain beige curtain fabric for the background and then lob textures on top. I used a heavier one than usual due to the bulk of the pic being quite dark but wonder now if it was a bit too heavy.
The colours and textures are really good and the lighting is well thought out and could easily have been through a window of an old building.
Thanks again everyone - and thank you Dave for your award
I do love these mini pumpkins and will be very sad when they finally give up the ghost but I reckon I've got a few weeks before they go kaput. I guess it's feasible though to hollow them out, stuff them with paper or something and let them dry out - I might give that a go!
The garlic happily is keeping very well and doesn't pong at all - I've had it about a month and guess it will just slowly dry up - which is not a bad thing
