WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Be prepared for periods of intense rainfall throughout the year. This might include avoiding exposed soils on sloping plots, or ensuring fragile plants are staked or have some protection.
Collect water when it is wet to prepare for potential drought and possible hosepipe bans.
Look at planting some drought tolerant plants that can grow with minimal water such as kohlrabi, beetroot, and parsnips.
Focus on winter annuals in areas with mild winters. Grow slowly through the winter to make the most of periods of damp weather and rainfall and harvest in early spring.
