Last year was the wettest drought on record. The year before that

Keep on watering the plants until "they" tell us not to. And don't
be peed off when everything gets washed away.
No hosepipe bans yet.

I read a weather prediction from some professor of meteorology
somewhere that the weather pattern this year matches enough previous
years to allow a reasonable expectation of a washout summer.

OTOH, some forecasters are predicting sub-zero overnight temperatures
for South Wales next week; others are predicting lows of 3-4C
overnight. Who do we believe?

Not that I care! I have about 70 large plants to get into the ground.
Today I fell off a ladder and will be using crutches for a few weeks.
It's easier to water those pots which are within a couple of metres
of the tap than drag hose or cans all round the garden (I'd have to
drag/carry them in my mouth!).

Oh what very bad luck! I do hope you recover quickly & that nothing is
broken. In the meantime, I suggest you bribe a sturdy teenager to do
the watering for you. Get well soon.

Ditto.
My very beast of wishes.
