Was planning some light planting of bedding plants, just with my left hand, but the rain is coming down very steadily, as if it means it. Perhaps tomorrow.
Shoddy Waddy - agree with Mel - pretty naff, pants.... too much velvet and quiff, sorry Ba, not my scene. Prefered John Mayall and the Blues Breakers
We need to get ours out as well ! Yeah, what's that then ? Well, bedding in the borders actually, and that's not finding a drunk in ya front garden on Saturday morning !
Mel, I think it will dry up this late afternoon, in which case the soil condition will be just right for setting them out without having to wash them out with a watering after planting. Yeah, just right, so if you can manage it, could be rather satisfying for you.
Use a dibber for the hole and the damp soil should stand up enough for you to drop the plant in the bottom with one hand, and then firm with the same arm when you've set out say 1/2 dozen at a time. The ground already damp will absorb water well, from a light sprinkling from a light watering can.
Good luck with it, I'm sure you'll be ok
