Hosepipe ban

Anglian and 3 other water companies brought in hosepipe ban today. I’m really going to struggle to keep my pots and beans etc watered with a watering can. I’ll have to give up with the small front patch but I can only carry the can half full it’s just too heavy so it will take many cans full just to water my beans, my pots are looking lovely too but I guess if I lose them it won’t be from want of trying. Also my neighbour asked me to water hers while she’s on holiday I could do without that too 🥵
Anyone else under a ban and will struggle?

Having a water meter means I try to use as little water as possible. But the house next to me is empty, the people next to it are on holiday and if I don’t run enough water through the system the sewage pipe blocks.
