Is it just my garden ? I feel that I have been growing flowers all the year round and after looking after them planting them out they seem to look good for a couple of weeks and then due to the rain .storms and all the rest of it They have finished . I have just been in the garden pulling up Larkspare which has been battered by the weather. My broad beans . Loads of bedding plants. My beds of Marigolds are rotten with all the rain. My fruit bushes have finished given fruit already The only thing in my garden which is doing well is my lawnI think I will go out and by a few tons of gravel. Gravel my entire garden and just put a few pots out to look after and set fire to the greenhouse LOL Donna A feed up gardener

I had this conversation with Grindle just this morning Donna :(
I feel like we've waited all this time for a few months of warmer, sunnier weather and now .... we're almost on the other side of it and i've not seen my beautiful flowers for nearly long enough :((
Signed ... another fed up gardener.

Ditto Donnah.. I was thinking of starting a new hobby and not bother with the gardens ever again, Some plants love the rain but the Petunias in the front hate it, the flowers are taking a battering and looking soggy :( The taller plants are falling over and im WHITE.. hehe..

Please don't do anything drastic Donnah, your garden is beautiful and I'm sure we'll get some nicer weather before the summer is out. We might have a nice autumn aswell and there are plenty of things that bloom right up to the and of the year. I know it's miserable at the moment but try and think ahead.
:o)

I know how you feel ..... my toms have blight due to the damp conditions - not nice when you have to pull up plants you've nurtured for months - rubbish summer, yet again :-(

Me too Donnah...all the colour on petals of things are washed out...some have gone slimy, I keep slipping up on the decking ( & looking round to see if anyone's watching),
and....the lawns looking great! Typical...the one thing my husband is entirely responsible for & it looks like the front lawn at Highgrove!

My garden is a wilderness too. Just cant get out there. Weeds everywhere, lots of flat plants. Yes, the lawn is very green now, lol. Keep looking behind you Fluff ..... you never know who's watching.

Aaaaaaaah....Is it Prince Charles? I make candles for Highgrove at work but he never comes round for a visit!!

Wow Fluff, your job sounds good. As regards Prince C, I dont think your missing much, lol

i know how you feel donnah, makes me want to cry, ive also worked so hard as we all have and cant even spend time out there and by the time i do get out its to pull plants or weed, not to enjoy sitting and admiring :o(

I wont really gravel it I bet I grow just as meny plants next year as I did this year. And then have a good old moan about the weather againLOL

But - I think we should send rude messages to those Met Office people who promised us a hot summer this year - and I'm fed up, too - my roses rot before they open! All the plants flop over, too....I'm having to tie things to canes all the time. :-(
